Last night the Russians defeated Napoleon in War and Peace. I was so excited but I didn't really have anyone to be excited with. Reading War and Peace is a lonely experience. You get wrapped up in a near invisible, almost non-existent world. The more your read the more invested you become, moving you farther out of touch with the real world. It's kind of like The Never Ending Story (for those of you who have watched that movie) or going insane. But I guess I'm glad more people aren’t into it. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure you'd have people dressing up in costumes and reenacting battles and balls like the poor souls who get sucked into role playing games. I can't wait to watch this movie.

"I destroyed the world."
I'd like to witness your comment about wanting to share the book-world with the people around you who just don't know. Sometimes I do it anyway.
That's probably about as random to them as "Speaking of Swans" was to my family about 7 years ago. Ask Dan about that one...
You've inspired me, Katy. I am going to read some Tolstoy before the year is over. Or else.
Thanks for visiting my blog, by the way! I'm glad you caught Trina's expression too.
She's an intelligent girl....
