Yes. I remember watching the BBC mini series with Nicola Pagett and Stuart Wilson as Count Vronsky. I got hooked, watching it.

I saw the version with Keira Knightley on Netflix. I feel like with the big books, it's easier to watch the movie/mini series first to keep characters straight and put a face to a name

I like doing that. The old prose can get confusing so having a face to a name is supper helpful.

I watched the Keira Knightley version a few years back, but forget it.
I'm going to watch it again, after I get through all of the Emma versions.

Yep, and also matching the book scenes with the movie scenes helps to know what the hell is going on.

And then there's also the War & Peace with Lily James that I want to give a try


I forgot it's my turn to put up a first line:
The funeral is supposed to be a quiet affair, for the deceased had no friends.

There's a mystery in it but it's not considered to be in the Mystery genre
