A page from War and Peace with the quoted text

the other, stil more reasonably, says that it is too depressing and painful to think of the danger, since it is not in man's power to foresee everything and avert the general course of events, and it is therefore better to disregard what is painful till it comes, and to think about what is pleasant.

Tolstoy, War & Peace, explaining the rise of Bluesky (1/2): At the approach of danger there are always two voices that speak with equal power in the human soul: one very reasonably tells a man to consider the nature of the danger and the means of escaping it…

I remember also finding it overlong when it was assigned in school. I should have guessed that wouldn’t change! But we “read” it in 8th grade, I assume seniors would get much more from it. Especially in AP. Thanks for teaching it.

We are kindred spirits and your #booksky picks gave me a few more to add to my list. What do the seniors think of the Grapes of Wrath? It’s a great book for the moment.

Let’s not give them up so fast! The right cannot take the poems behind Cats!

Absolutely. Look up Dostoevsky on YouTube and you get a bunch of Jordan Peterson trash. We need to take literature back!

The lack of sleep is telling. “presumably” 👀

Les Miserables. Reading about Val Jean makes you want to be a better person.

Hot take, this one stayed with me in a disappointing, why did I waste my time way #booksky 🫣

I think you're forgetting the sartorial decisions of a lot of lawyers in the (R) column.

So is he unemployed? He can't un-resign, right??

We are into the negatives! I started guessing how many Scaramuccis these bozos would last but I didn't see this one coming.

Aaaand we're off! I didn't even put a guess for Gaetz yet and he's out. How do we count negative Scaramuccis?

Dr. Oz, I give him 5 Scare-a-mooches. I don't think CMS is anywhere near as glamorous as he thinks it will be. It's more "managing medical loss ratio" and less "be beach body ready with this one trick doctors hate!"

I for one was not expecting the first War chapters of War and Peace to be sitcom-level hijinks.

I thought my 9-month old wasn't really into music because she didn't really react to it, but turns out she just needed to hear @lizzobeeating.bsky.social. Duh. She's boppin now. Not sure what we'll do when she learns to repeat things 🫣

Let’s not with “skeets” mmkay?

Hi #booksky! Who has a starter pack of classic lit fans with a good sense of humor? I keep wanting to chat about old books and then I get pulled into the more current topics 😵‍💫 and need to crawl back out.

I just bought this at my local comics shop earlier this month. My husband keeps trying to get me to read comics and graphic novels and usually I'm not interested, but this caught my eye. I only got as far as Jim and Huck telling tales on the porch so far and I'm in 💛.
