Micro Mention "War and Peace"

 

"War and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy isn't just long—as everyone knows—it also has a shit ton of characters. Like, flow chart worthy amount of characters. AND they go by different names at times. I read half of this goliath when I realized Prince Andrey and Prince Bolkonsky were the same prince.

At a certain point, I admitted to myself that the only reason I was even reading this book was to see if I could finish the journey. I've retained bits and pieces here and there, but the story's overall structure in my head is just one long sprawl of things that happen—generally miserable things.
