This book is dragging now because getting this much into Alexei's background is a snoozefest

This book is a dense chunkster. I'm not sure how fast I will read this one. It's not bad so far, but there is a lot to read.

Ugh, I'm done. It's just SO TEDIOUS. Everyone talking about philosophy & occasionally making an innuendo. Then introducing each other to MORE people + more philosophy. I've been interested in exactly 2 scenes, one of which was the cannibal peasants. :P

'The rest of the woman had already been sold off, but one of the man's legs & half his buttock lay in the snow like the bloodied hind quarter of a steer.' ....Cannibalism amongst the peasantry! There, see? I feel better already. :P

The Russian Revolution: because when you're miserable with a head cold, sometimes it helps to read about people who are even more miserable than you are.
