poor Jon, dude is a lightening rod, granted a self-inducing lightening-rod but a rod none the less...

Yeah, Jon, AK is not a fast paced action thriller but it is a true classic even if Tolstoy is not for everyone. But I love Tolstoy's imagery and how he wrote the human condition and life in Russia, a life we in the west might never have been aware of otherwise.
