maybe i picked this novel up thinking that if tolstoy were as good a writer as dostoievski, i should not be ignorant of that. or maybe i just wanted to flex the old biceps.
dont read this book unless you are really bored. i got to page 500 then found a synopsis on the internet and so i didnt feel like i had to read the remaining 400 pages.
tolstoy's style did remind me of dostoievski except that dostoievski's stuff actually has really great content to it. i wont ever doubt dostoievski again.

I "read" War and Peace once. I skipped all the details of armies and battles and simply followed what happened with the characters.
