Tolstoy, you never cease to amaze me. However you have started to bore me again. We're back to pages and pages of descriptions and rough translations. Also, following the story is getting harder- who knew one character could have so many nicknames! Each character (and there's about a hundred) has multiple. If any of you are thinking "is this the same person as such and such?" just assume it is. I'm still extremely motivated to read the novel, but ugh, I was afraid this was going to happen!
So that's it. To all of my friends who were skeptical when I said that War and Peace was getting good, you were right. But the jokes on them, because here I am getting more and more cultured everyday! There's no way I'm surrendering yet.
