War and Peace for Tolstoy seems to be a long discussion with himself about his lifestyle, family, and demons. I think I connect with the reading more when I can think about how Tolstoy's life is embedded into the criticisms and characters. The novel has a more touching feel because of it.Ellen Pinnettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01700479450564226609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5980751096663660132.post-64709705119650038782011-10-27T12:47:49.161-07:002011-10-27T12:47:49.161-07:00Yes, I agree with you.
