punching the air with delight at princess marya finally standing up for her own happiness :')

forget the P, pierre has TSD. bro is fucking checked out his brains deep in survival mode

on the edge of my seat the whole way through. im Locked In

"the blue vault of heaven thickly studded with stars" damn okay I didn't expect to enjoy the writing and detail in this massively long book but I have been locked in the entire time

immediately recognised the audiobook narrator as one of the people who narrated the 2666 audiobook. hello my old friend i am seated and ready for the 47 hours we are about to spend together

the privatising air metaphor......cackling because unfortunately it's very on the nose. highly accurate

"his face was a picture of anguish. he really was going through it at that moment." same Pierre, same

what kind of cretin is like yeah we're gonna stop funding housing for homeless families and kick them out of shelters for up to a month at a time

(spoiler, it's rudy giuliani)

oh so andrew cuomo hating the poor is the reason stupid housing readiness requirements are a thing??? i wanna watch him and sam tsemberis fight

the rite of passage that is reading this book and thinking wow, it truly is timeless. so much is so true and relevant to today

the most horrible and intense description of a dentist visit i've ever read.....just as i probably need a check up fml

bolkonsky switching between absolute cynicism at the world and unbridled happiness, joy, and love at/of life almost each chapter we encounter him now is deeply, deeply relatable

i suddenly have a premonition that this book is going to break my heart

omfg pierre read the room now is NOT the time to start proselytising about freemasonry

(quite enjoying my chapter a night read!)

reading a chapter a day is hard when u have a bad memory. i do NOT remember who half these men are and my phone is on bedtime mode so i can't look up a list of who each character is. almost need to print one out

it's only at this point that tolstoy bothers to tell us that the term prince is a title in russia? this entire time i've been like why and how tf does russia have so many princes.

also why do we send young men to war. god. god!

if i had a hot wife whom i loved i simply wouldn't be a misogynist to and about her, prince andrey 😤 "waaaah my freedom" shut up you boring big baby be nice to your wife

(reading a book by reading a chapter a day really is a different experience for me! enjoying it so far tho)
