Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment. Come back soon!<br /><br />Kristi - I was definitely waiting for someone to end up dead in the drunk scene and I felt really sorry for the poor bear! Thanks for the encouragement!<br /><br />Avid Reader - So many people are telling me it's worth it and I'm so glad to hear that. It's definitely making being motivated to read it a lot easier - thank you! I'm going to go on a mission to find The Last Station. In Taiwan. Could be interesting...!<br /><br />Usafbrat - Thanks for the comment! I'm getting a sense that the intricate relationships I'm reading about now will be very important later on. Someone on the Facebook read-a-long group I'm a part of for this suggested a character map would be useful for keeping track of everyone. I think I'll get one and fold it into the back of the book for reference so I don't get lost.Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16731173186767835989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015861203212804796.post-79530414271576705572011-02-03T09:24:43.636+08:002011-02-03T09:24:43.636+08:00I look forward to hearing more on your thoughts on...I look forward to hearing more on your thoughts on War and Peace! It's a very rewarding work! The background information you're reading about now does go a long way toward understanding the relationships later on!

It's worth it! I watched The Last Station a few months ago and it was really interesting. I had no idea about his relationship with his wife. It would be incredibly hard to live with someone like that.Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015861203212804796.post-52615530996724164832011-02-03T03:57:12.746+08:002011-02-03T03:57:12.746+08:00I'm glad that your confidence is up!

Tolstoy is an interesting one, but I think my favourites are Sophie Tolstoy's diaries. She suffered post-natal depression but spent most of her life pregnant and nursing. Her musings on motherhood, and having a genius for a husband are brilliant "herstory".<br /><br />It's also interesting that he tried to be chaste and then beat himself up for constantly ravaging and impregnating her. Not an easy marriage. <br /><br />It's Rosie by the way ;)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455470668456626698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015861203212804796.post-21296325930886929532011-02-03T00:22:32.349+08:002011-02-03T00:22:32.349+08:00Thanks Greg!
