I'm still reading War & Peace, and I'm close to putting it aside and (probably) never picking it up again. But I don't want to! I want to finish it! But it has so many pages, and when they are at war, I don't really care about the story. I've also recently bought a few books that I'd like to read now. I know that if I put it down now, I'll probably never pick it up again. Thats why I want to finish it!

I haven't picked up W&P in awhile now and I know I should just charge right through it if I ever want to read it. My new goal is 100 pages a week. And to finish by the end of August.

ok, I gave in. I put war and peace aside for a bit and I'm now reading Dead to the World by Charlaine Harris. (I also just finished Club Dead, so this is my second book I'm reading on my W&P break ). But it is nice to know that I can still finish a book in one day.
