Ok, so I have failed. I have not made the first deadline. But I think the piont is not to get to sad about this, but to keep going.
The turtell won the won the race, not by going fast but by going slow and steady. So in this year of War and Peace I will be the turtel and I will be slow and steady.
I will take to Bermuda and read it there. Less distractions. (Unless I get lost in the Bermuda triangle. That would be bad.)
I'm currently distracted reading Tale of Two Cities. I'm loving it, I also just finshed Great Expectations. Though what I have read of War and Peace is very good. When I read Tolstoy I feel like I'm in a Russian Tea, wearing a fancy dress. Tolstoy creats very colourful and detailed characters. Reading him is alot of fun and not as much work as very one thinks. (Plus it sounds soo smart saying I'm reading War and Peace. Just joking, saying that is makes you sound smart, takes away from you actual being smart.)
Also in failing to make the deadline I have not been blogging as often as my counter parts. Sorry but I have never blogged before. I will make a promise to try and blogg more often. I also I gusse I should let people know upfront I have bad spelling and it will show. But I know no one reading this blog will judge me. (I hope there are people out there reading this blog!!!)
What have other people been distracted reading? (I know I should be distracted reading stuff for class.)
Ok well I'm going to go now and read me some War and Peace. Wish me luck!!!

This blog follows a group of friends as they read 'War and Peace' over the course of a year. It is more exciting than it sounds, but don't take our word for it: pick up a copy and join in.
Umm, Sarah Silverman is pretty captivating. Who knew she was a depressed, hairy loser who wet her bed until highschool? Not me! Also, magazines for healthcare professionals about diabetes are riveting! And make me fear renal disease more than bedbugs... now that's a feat. I would give a mini-review of "A Gate at the Stairs", but wait, this is a War and Peace blog, no?
ReplyDeleteGood to see you among the War and Peace living Sonja. I started going through your entry and correcting the spelling, but then I got to the part about not judging and I felt like an ass. Isn't Tale of Two Cities great? I'm a big Sidney Carton fangirl (I can't even remember the other dude's name).
