Thoroughly enjoying my first Tolstoy... I don't know why I thought he would be so stodgy... perhaps it was the intimidating thickness of his books. To my delight, Tolstoy is an endearing mix of playfulness and sincerity.

I have embarked on the journey of my first "Russian novel." Lolita, I feel, doesn't really count in that weighty category. Sorry Nabokov.
