I did it! It was more enjoyable than reading anything by Dickens, but not near as fun as Les Miserables. Initially "war" was far more fun than "peace," what with peace being meaningless balls and oddball snooty conversations (and really, I can get that shit at home)...but once the soap opera kicked in and you started rooting for all those crazy kids to make it, thee peace became a good time indeed.
What I did not enjoy was the horribly out of date historiography--which can't be helped, the guy was, after all, writing in the 19th century, but whatever, it was still boring.
I think I'll take a break from the Russians now--actually I'm swinging fully into pop lit and reading Eragon--yay stocking stuffers!
