You're On!

Oh Alicia, what have you done?

This is one of the books on my list of "Oh Em Gee, I better not die in a tragic accident before I get a chance to read this book." It is also on my list of "Hm, I can't take that on the subway," and "Wow, this heavy book doesn't fit in my clutch." But, despite the fashion dilemma it poses, I am up for the challenge. I have a mad love affair with the Russians and it's about time I took this book head-on. Richard Pevear is a brilliant translator and did a wonderful job with another of my favorite Russian books, The Master and Margarita.

BTW: Here's a one line summary of War and Peace, for those of you who don't mind a plot spoiler.

Audra, is that you? You know, I think the first caricature was a better likeness. You should go back to it.

As for W&P, after reading the one line summary, now I really, really don't want to read it!

Deb, what can I say? This is the same as the old caricature, only the hair is down. I'll just take what I can get. If anyone wants to see my real identity, they'll have to hunt me down.

As for War and Peace race, it was part Bry's idea, so you better watch out.

And for me, I wonder if I can get a race handicap due to my tragically busy social life!
