It has been a goal of mine for a very long time to read War & Peace by Leo Tolstoy. I first attempted it in eighth grade, where I somehow thought carrying around that huge volume would impress my classmates. Unsurprisingly, that didn't work, and I pretty quickly gave up on both lugging it around and reading it. My second attempt came in high school, and it was no more successful than the first try.
But I want to be able to say I have read War & Peace. So I recently put it on my 31 in 31 list to give me some motivation. That means it has to happen before September. I figured it was a good idea to start now, to give myself plenty of time.
I'm planning on reading it little by little so that I can fit in plenty of other reading, too. The copy I have is 1,361 pages long. I am making it my goal to read 15 pages a day (or an average of 105 pages a week). That will let me finish in about three months.
I'm posting this so I can have some accountability to help me accomplish this goal. I'll post a weekly update as part of my It's Monday! post. If I'm not keeping on track, please call me on it!
Now I just need to open the cover and begin!
