  1. I see the name Tolstoy and shudder with fear.

    The Cossacks is not familiar to me so I will have to look it up and see if my shakes subside..lol.

    This is quite a reading list. I will share with hubby who is an avid a reader as you have shown yourself to be.

  2. The Cossacks has a Wikipedia entry. It's not one of his great works, but it was enjoyable. I wasn't sure if I was going to write a blog on it, but now that you've expressed interest I will. Perhaps this weekend.

    The better half would be most interested in your thoughts!
