I'm nearly finished with
War and Peace with about 20 pages left. It's
amazing. Go and read this book now. Right now. Part 1 of the Epilogue is very satisfying, a good mix of humor and sadness. Too bad Tolstoy didn't write even a sliver of a sequel, just so we can see what happens to Nikolay Bolkonsky, Prince Andrey's son. He's a character that's in the background for most of the novel, but his 15-year-old self becomes more important towards the end, being inspired by Pierre and his late father.
Due to the muscles in my eyes not liking to focus close-up and leading to some double-vision, I need reading glasses. Groovy.
Early this week, I found the trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and I can hardly wait until November! Yes, I am that big of a Harry Potter fan. Proud of it. =)
Cat Pic Friday. This is one of the few times Tacy actually looked at the camera.

Oh dear--I don't know if I'll be able to get to War and Peace this year. Not that I don't have two translations of it sitting here on the shelf. Considering that and the fact I have about 1200 pages of his other fiction, I should probably have a Tolstoy summer or something like that.
