MARC Book of the Week: Leo Tolstoy’s WAR AND PEACE.

Yep, that’s right. The Motherload of books. Granted, I don’t think I am going to be able to chop that many pages up in a week, but we’ll see. I started it a few months ago before I moved, and am already 423 pages into it or something like that. It’s actually a pretty good book, once you get past the opening character developments. Once finished, I think I will be one of 13 normal people to willingly read the book.

You are nothing like the TEAM USA that adorned so many Burger King cups of my youth. Earn your jerseys too.
