“It was a dark but starry night and the road shone black against the white snow that had fallen on the day of the battle.”
—Leo Tolstoy, War & Peace, 1869; translated by Anthony Briggs, 2005.

You should include page number in your Tolstoy quotes–to show people what progress you’re making. I’m impressed, however, even without them.
I’m on page 436 right now—out of 1392. The color quotes have slowed down, but something is sure to strike me soon. It’s a good book, btw. It’s got everything, including a plot you can follow!
