I like this, Mark.

The story or my brief remark?

I am a fan of brevity, but I was referring to the book. I read it a long time ago but it fascinated me.

H'm. I found the suffering disturbing.

Thanks, Biblio! - )
I'm glad I read it cause it's famous. But I didn't like it.

The first two chapters entertained and then it went down hill. Strong stuff.

Mark. I just sent you a full box of pre-stamped thank you cards. We have to look out for our brothers, I think.

It's changed my life: this silly machine. It's a good thing I'm retired.
Thanks for the cards. I'll use'm. - )

Grim is what I liked about this book the most😄
Somehow, it speaks to ur concerns about life n the mystery yet commonality of impending death.

Being, I’m guessing, that I’m much closer to the ‘impending’ than you are, I found the narrator’s harangue a bit off putting. 🙃

Thank you, Vince. I’ll read anything that Tolstoy wrote. But this one didn’t catch my fancy. Maybe I should try again. - )

Thank you, India M! - )
Nice to hear from you. Not my favorite Tolstoy.

Thank you, Steffi! - )
Not my favorite Tolstoy.

I agree it's not fun (especially the title) but the story is brilliantly mastered. For me it's 5* :))

I agree. It is masterly written. Maybe I need a reread. - ))

Well, on that I agree, the language thing, but one never knows who's closer to.the impending, guess that's what Tolstoy is trying so hard to say "the end is nigh" 😂

Thank you, Swaroop! - )
Nice to hear from you. My least favorite Tolstoi.

Thank you, Alma! - )

Nice to hear from you.

I'm sorry you didn't like the book that much, as you may know, i want to start reading Leo Tolstoy's works so is it hard to read?

Hi Patricia! Tolstoy is one of my favorite authors. I think he is a brilliant storyteller. I hardly remember why I wasn’t particularly enthralled by this story, but my prejudice may have something to do with my own age related situation. Worry not, your going to love his writing! - ))

Thank you, SONJA! - ))
