Factual Friday!

Did you know?


That it took Leo Tolstoy 6 years to write War and Peace?

This fact makes me feel better about the fact that it took me about 6 years to read it....

I read War and Peace several years ago while taking a literature class. I had to write a paper on it and so I did a comparison on War and Peace in relationship to the Book of Mormon. It was a fascinating study. I absolutely LOVED the book. Tolstoy was an incredible man. I was interested to learn that he corresponded with one of Brigham Young's daughters and that she gave him a Book of Mormon to read. It was found in his personal effects after his death.

Umm...it only took him six years? That's incredible. I've seen buildings smaller than that book that took more time to be built. ;) I'm completely impressed that you've read it.

I also am impressed that you read it. I think your comment about how long it took to get through it was hi-larious! I have certainly felt that way about some books...
