Other kids loved Tolstoy more

I preferred War and Peace for the purposes of napping.

Atlas Shrugged in the Plume paperback edition is actually 1200 pages, but it is paltry compared to Tolstoy's 1424 pages (there's a whole extra novel in there). Tolstoy has the added benefit of being a superior somnolence-inducing author as well.

I wonder what it is about Russians that makes them so wordy (Rand was born in Russia).
