The worn spine on my Anna Karenina copy is proof enough of how many times I’ve read it. How much that book means to me is for another, lengthier post. But for now, I post this to say that this summer, I shall endeavour to give as much of that spine breaking kind of love to War and Peace. I’m going to really savour it without rushing to the end because I know I’ll miss it when it’s over. Tolstoy has that kind of effect.

The people* have spoken: I'm indulging my pretentious side and rolling up to drop a Dune drabble. No, I still don't have time to be writing fanfic at this point in the semester, don't look at me.
(*"the people" being mainly @thisbibliomaniac and @polithicc, both of whom are extraordinarily adept at convincing me to write things)
