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.
Sorry for losing my cool. The constant "fussing" gets to me; I have enough of that with my kids, I really don't need it with adults as well.

As for Tolstoy: Your description has helped to psych me up for reading it. I had every intention of starting it last night, but ended up not reading anything, at all.
