Okay, granted Leo Tolstoy, the great Russian writer, deserves all the credit he has received over the years. But let’s be fair to Mrs. Tolstoy. She spent a lot of time taking care of their nine kids, and she copied the manuscript of her husband’s epic novel, “War and Peace” seven times by hand. How many times have you or any of your friends read it all the way through.
