A while ago, I started reading
War and Peace, by Leo Tolstoy, and I made a bet with my sister that I would finish it before I started reading anything else. Good news is that I've kept my end of the bet and I'm relatively close to finishing the book. Bad news is that I made that bet over a year ago.
I'm not a slow reader, but during the school year I simply have no time to read. Maybe I'll get through a chapter a night, but the book has 20-30 chapters per book (the novel
War and Peace is comprised of 15 'books' and 2 epilogues). Take that times 17 and it'll take me like a year and a half to finish the book.
But anyway, I've only had time to read on the weekends, and I've always had something better to do. I'm more interested in the book now, so I'm taking time during the day and reading a few chapters at a time during my lunch break, but I still have almost two hundred chapters to go. >_>; It's one hell of a book, but I really love it. I am very, very glad I decided to sit down and read it (and stick with it, at that).
Next up,
The Brothers Karamazov and
Crime and Punishment, by Dostoyevsky. (Well, maybe C&P can wait, since it's ridiculously huge as well.
I need to start diversifying, or all of this 19th century Russia will be the end of me. ;_;)
