Finished part 1, and having just begun part 2. Again, it keeps amazing me how not only across time, but across many different cultures how the problems faced by the novels an characters can be seen in our own lives or in the lives of people around us. Fav quote so far “he stepped down, trying not to look at her, as if she were the sun, yet he saw her, like the sun, even without looking”

Didn’t want to add that I’m reading this for fear I’d hate it and give up on the beast, but 43 pages in I’m really liking it. Tolstoy’s diction and bringing in of philosophies and cultural pieces during the time of the books writing make it interesting. Also the fact that so far a lot of the book could be relatable to many people in modern day.
