Love the Pierre arc. It’s really getting damn hot now. Duels, cheating spouses, death. Dramatic asl icl

Let’s go Pierre! Standing up for yaself. Maybe my favorite character right now

Liking both the battle scenes and the inter-familial relation scenes. Also brushing up on Napoleonic war history in order to keep the geography straight lol. but also accidentally spoiling battle outcomes!

I like Pierre and Prince Alexander but Anatole seems like a d*ck

My favorite thing about Russian novels is the 400 page introduction

This version has footnotes and translations of all the French into English so we already taking Ws

If I were to re-read one book from last year, it would be Demons. Reading discussions it is often a favorite of his works but the depth escaped me. Maybe I will dip back into it this year, and it will be immeasurably helpful that I am familiar with the characters and their relations already.
