Making another go at War and Peace! I am seven chapters into it (the chapters are about four pages long so this is not very impressive), and so far the only character I can reliably identify is Pierre, because the French name sticks out like a sore thumb - as, indeed, does Pierre himself, who in those short chapters already been terribly gauche at Anna Pavlovna's soiree and gotten in trouble for dancing with a bear through the streets of St. Petersburg while terribly drunk. Otherwise I am lost, lost! in the sea of princes and princesses. But I daresay I'll sort them out eventually.

I've never even tried.

Pierre sounds like a hoot!

I laughed at his drunken dance with the bear. It's like Pierre is trying to make up for all the years of Russianness he lost while studying in Paris.
