next up: Proust!

Wade: I finished reading War and Peace.

Me: Good for you.

Wade: Ask me how it was.

Me: How was it?

Wade: Meh.  It was fine.

Me: Weirdo.

  1. You two are ambitious.

    Am reading Water for Elephants here. Wow.

  2. Please thank the hubby for the “Wade Notes” version. The book has been on my shelf for years and now I don’t have to actually read it.

  3. I haven’t read War & Peace, but I spent a semester reading Proust.

    And one day, I’d like to read it again, a little more slowly. It’s a lot to cover in one semester.

  4. hmm.. that sounds like how I described The Old Man and the Sea.

  5. That’s almost as irritating as when my dad read Catch-22 and Catcher in the Rye and said “They had too much cursing” in response to me asking how he liked them. I wanted to hit him.

  6. That is how I felt when I finally finished reading Moby Dick.

    Wait no - I hated that.

  7. I don’t think I’ve found too many books where I could say that. None that are coming to mind.

    I’m pretty sure I’ve said that about a few meals though.

  8. Okay…that conversation made me chuckle. Glad you are feeling better.

  9. I like a little light reading myself.

  10. I loved War and Peace. Just re-read it two months ago and still a fan! Also loved Anna Karenina. Tolstoy is a beautiful writer, and I think we can all learn something about human nature from them.
