War and Peace (Revised) | Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy
post image

Last minute joining the #whiskyandperseverance read along of War and Peace. Hopefully, I‘ll be caught up by the end of the week.

I‘ve always wanted to read this Russian classic, and a chapter a day is the perfect way. Plus I have a whiskey cast, so it‘s almost the law I join in!

The fascination Tolstoy has in describing all of his female characters with “beautiful faces and tiny mustaches” is kind of beyond me. Things no one tells you about War and Peace…. #tolstoy #warandpeace #classiclit #canonlit #catsandbooks #cats #catsoflitsy

RaeLovesToRead Awww kitty! 🥰🥰 I forgot about the mustaches! 😄🙈 2y
Aaronofthe Aside from the life changing ideas about how the world doesn't care about you and you're just a minuscule cog in an immense machine.. I mostly just remember a cop being tied to a bear and thrown in a river.. and a rather sweet marriage proposal.. but it's been a while since I read it.. I could perceive it differently now. 1y

Book #17 of 2021 was book 2 of Tony Riches‘ Tudor Trilogy. I really enjoyed this one. The writing was a lot more smooth & descriptive. The details about Jasper‘s life were fascinating!

Watching the first episode of this series now that I've finished the book

So far I like it, but I'm not sure when I'll have time to watch the rest of it. There are four episodes and each is just under 2 hours.

Yesterday was the last day of my school year and today I finished this book as I worked around the house and enjoyed a little evening hammock time! It was definitely worth the time I put into reading and listening, but it only gets a so-so rating because it required a lot of effort to keep reading/listening to some sections. There were parts I truly enjoyed and some that just drug on.

Soubhiville Congratulations on finishing it! 3y
Amiable Hooray! Congrats on finishing it! I definitely enjoyed the peace chapters more than the war chapters, myself. Feels good to complete it, doesn‘t it ? 3y
Daisey @Soubhiville Thanks! @Amiable Thanks and yes it does! 3y

JazzFeathers I'm always so envious of your hammock. 3y
Lcsmcat I loved how he poked fun at all the generals and politicians- on both sides. (edited) 3y
Daisey @Lcsmcat Yes, I enjoyed that as well. 3y

I‘m continuing to make progress on War and Peace. I finished Book/Part 12 today, and my goal is to finish the rest of the book this month.
