I finally finished it and I feel an empty void in my life, even if the sheer length was a pain at times. Any other books that gave you that feel?

Yeah I disagree, too.
She's just extremely impressionable, so when the Kuragins influence her, her life turns to shit; when Pierre influences her, things turn well again.

There really isn't any other book like it. Things like Les Miserables, The Charterhouse of Parma and Anna Karenina feel similar in some ways, but nothing brings together all of its parts in quite the same manner.

Natasha is a child who was tricked into making a fairly minor error, for which she was punished harshly. She's a fantastic character honestly, probably my favorite in any Tolstoy work.

Natasha is a qt but Sonya is best girl.

Andre is cool but has a bit of a stick up his ass. Dennisov is a true bro all the way through.

Maybe in 1806, by 1812 she is a dried up used goods by Dollohov roast beef whore. Alas, the wall comes fast. Pierre is doomed to be cucked again.

Paul Dano is a good actor but what on earth kind of casting choice is that. You need a giant, chubby, bemused, naive, and good natured type person

I find it interesting that natasha basically fucks up and does a dumb whore thing because she was conscious of her fading youth and fertility and couldn't handle being a single thott and desperately wanted to settle down, whereas with modern women its the opposite, they become whores because they dont care about fading youth and fertility and dont want to settle down

it certainly something worth noting I guess, that the character can do shitty things make serious mistakes but in a way you can still really empathize with how the situation could tear apart a decent person, even if it was a little melodramatic given that she only had to wait a year

the difference between natasha and a whore is that she sincerely repented of what she did even though she stood to gain nothing by apologizing. it blew pierre's mind when he realized she wasn't just putting on a show to try to get andrei back like every other woman would have been doing.

The thing I tend to not like with Tolstoy, is how he analyzes a certain problem ad absurdum. War and Peace analyzed history into an infinite little pieces, connected by infinite actions, all unquantifiably inter-connected, to the point where no human brain can even log it, let alone present it in a book for other humans. Resurrection analyzes the "justice" system to a similar degree. Anna Karenina is next on my list, but I somehow doubt it will reach the same heights and catharsis as War and Peace. Marja Bolkonska is best girl.

Read it a few years ago and couldn't find anything to read to fill that void for months afterwards. Maybe read The Charterhouse of Parma.
