Thank you for those fascinatingly interesting observations and
recommendation.
(It is four or five years since I obtained a copy but the length has
usually influenced shorter novels to be chosen to read first as I do not
like to be reading more than one book at a time.)
And thank you for your kind words.

Kindness was hard, and it was the preserve of true

THE DESTRUCTIVES by Matthew De Abaitua
My greatest takeaway from WAR AND PEACE is to leave politics to
politicians, leave diplomacy to diplomats, and leave war to generals.
Although audiobooks are an anathema to some, they enable me to upload
massive material into my mind with relative ease. WAR AND PEACE's
transfer transpired faster than originally anticipated.
A couple of reading projects beckon. One involves the exploration of
Einsteinian egoism espoused by Edward Bernays, Adolph Ochs, and others.
Poe's my other project. It's my intention to upload all of Poe's vast
corpus. Only audiobooks make it feasible for me.
