Visiting with Mr Tolstoy at the library sale. Master Shakespeare mutters something about not nearly enough characters.... #ohboytolstoy www.instagram.com/p/Bo12LzbFnaB/
At the @ArlingtonVALib "survivors' party" for the War and Peace readalong. We're watching the Audrey Hepburn version. #OhBoyTolstoy
I like participating in stuff like the #ohboytolstoy discussions but dear god if it was a summer of *nothing* but Napoleon and Pierre and oncoming winter... I would go crazy.
War and Peace + Zombies just makes me think of Robin Bridges' Russian YA series with the necromancer heroine. Again wrong era 19th century... #DangerousBiteyFeelings #OhBoyTolstoy
*listens to #OhBoyTolstoy podcast* All I could think was on the sitcom introductions "And... that was how I met your mother..."
Bonus #OhBoyTolstoy for tonight, I found the Anna Karenina tie-in edition I won years ago. Appears to be the Maude translation whereas the Gutenberg is the Garnett?
#OhBoyTolstoy Reading W&P nowhere exciting this month than my bed - switching off between print and ebook so I thought I'd include the ole police box too.
#OhBoyTolstoy My slow progress with W&P has reached the war portion. I actually finished part 1 last night. Slow but steady progress, that's me.
#OhBoyTolstoy It's #NationalPineappleDay! Do not offend your hosts by asking if it's rented.
#OhBoyTolstoy Still slowly getting the first part of War and Peace. Hoping I'll have more time this weekend to keep my mind off cleaning project.
Listening to #ohboytolstoy podcast from week 2, I'm surprised @APLMegan or @aplstacks didn't mention Eloisa James' fondness for pineapples in her stories. Apparently the rental story shows up in one.
"Monsieur le vicomte quite rightly supposes that things have already gone too far. I think it would be hard to return to the old ways." Timely #OhBoyTolstoy quote tonight.
Getting in some #OhBoyTolstoy time during Stanley Cup intermissions/ad breaks --- guess it's appropriate given how many Russians are around....
Feeling like I'm back in Mme Phillips French class trying to read bits of War and Peace opening for #ohboytolstoy.
