49. Read War and Peace

It was an alright book, kind of a lot of characters to remember.  One girl, Natasha, reminded me of a character in Tale of Genji.  I don't remember if the girl in Tale of Genji had a name; lots of them are called "the plum-blossom lady" or something like that.  But the girl in Tale of Genji wrote a poem that went "Not to one mortal only, but to all that in this dark world dwell, that word I must accord."  If I told you what they had in common, it might spoil the book, though.  You are going to read two 1000-page novels, each hundreds of years old, right?
