"War is not a courtesy but the most horrible thing in life; and we ought to understand that, and not play at war. We ought to accept this terrible necessity sternly and seriously. It all lies in that: get rid of falsehood and let war be war and not a game. As it is now, war is the favourite pastime of the idle and frivolous."

After seeing the film, and crying at the end, I started to read Tolstoy. His short stories are very impressionable. Do you have a suggestion for a novel?

Anna Karenina—but it's extremely long. I suggest the novella The Death of Ivan Ilyich. Tolstoy is my favorite of the Russians.

I'll try The Death of Ivan Ilyich. I already have it in a collection of his novels. I'll let you know what I think. Thanks for the suggestion.
