War and Peace Finished!

Yahoo!!

I’m not sure how many flights it actually took, or how much of the 100,000 mile commute it took, but I managed to read all 1400+ pages of War and Peace by Tolstoy.

The fact the I only read the book on from take-off to 10,000 feet (when you can use your portable electronics) and the last 15 minutes of the flight makes it all the more remarkable.

Do you know how many flights that is?  I don’t either, but I guess we can calculate it…

Assuming just 75 seconds per page, we’d need about 30 hours to read.

At 10 minutes on the way up and 15 minutes on the way down, this translates to 36 round trips (ugh!).

No wonder I feel like I’ve been reading the book for about a year.

Honestly, it was a great read. 

I’d recommend it – especially if you have 35-40 roundtrips in the year ahead!

Or maybe you want to read something shorter…

…like the Alarm Management Handbook (only 168 pages!). J
