Longest. Book. Ever.
Well I'm pretty proud of myself. I just finished the longest book that I have ever read, War and Peace. I usually read a couple of books a month, but this one took me 6 months to read. Granted, I didn't hardly read the book at all during the fall semester, but it still took me a long time to finish it. The book was 1691 pages long and consisted of 15 "books", 2 epilogues and 365 chapters. According to one of the translated versions on amazon.com the book has 597,773 words! That's more than 100% of all books on Amazon. As always, I've posted a review of this book on my book review blog. Read it here.

What I want to know is who has the job of counting all the words in the book? That is an accomplishment! Looks like you had a good week on your weight loss challenge!

Your doing pretty darn sweet in the losing weight competition. Congrats and congrats on finishing the book!
You're my inspiration! War and Peace will be my next novel. I actually haven't read any fiction at all since early in the summer, which is odd for me since I've always been a big fiction fan. I've been reading, just on a mad, uncharacteristic (or so I would have thought) non-fiction streak that threatens never to end!
You make me want to read it. I don't know if I have the patience for something like that, though.
