So. . . I'm doing it. I cracked open War And Peace. Yes. 1200 pages of obscure Russian references and history. It takes about 5 minutes to read a page with all it's notes and subtly. Not to mention large parts of it were left in french in this translation.

Reading 'Memoirs of William Tecsumseh Sherman' and 'The Complete Calvin and Hobbes'
Freedom breeds war; and Peace, slavery. So it shall be forevermore: Men who love freedom buy it with their lives, and lovers of peace with their freedom. |

Doubtless one of the best modern translations. I was very satisfied with their work!

Aye! Obviously different authors have different writing styles. I'm finding this translation of War and Peace to be quite enjoyable. As compared to Dead Souls (tranlated by George Reavey) I found it to be dreadfully dull. It's only saving grace is the ideas expressed in Dead Souls.
And, I'm now obsessed with the idea of tying a police officer to a bear.

I'm reading Wittgenstein's Mistress which reminds me a lot of Beckett. It's hilarious at times and very appealing to the explorer in me because the main character is either the last woman on earth or a mad woman who believes she is the last woman on earth.

A Universe from Nothing by Lawrence Krauss.
“We are not going to have the kind of cooperation we need if everyone insists on their own narrow version of reality. … the great divide in the world today … is between people who have the courage to listen and those who are convinced that they already know it all.”
