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

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

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

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

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)
