I've read a lot of Russian literature, and I couldn't disagree more.

Any parent who teaches their kid about sex by making them read Anna Karenina should have DCF called on them.

It's a great novel, but trust me, you don't want it as a sex ed tool.

I thought the same thing, but I don't know ... adultery didn't work out very well for poor Anna, nor even for her brother. But fidelity worked just fine for Levin. Salutary examples, all around.
