We read War and Peace for this year's kick off; we just wrapped up the Brothers K a week and a bit ago. We're currently in the middle of senior writing period, and James Madison is /blatantly/ ripping off Hume and Smith at this point.
And that is indeed what ended up happening to that can. It died for my food.
I'm a bit young for it, yes; I never had the chance to meet the man.
War and Peace was foggy, in my head, by the end. I had the same problem with Brothers K; I had a lot of difficulty understanding the characters. With the Russians, I always feel as though I'm more watching a bunch of philosophical concepts bouncing off eachother, rather than people interacting. I'm pretty sure that's a naive and simplistic viewpoint that only betrays my lack of understanding, but dammit, I'm not reading several thousand pages again just to try it over.
