War and Peace, by Leo Tolstoy, and Creag Isle 12yo, Part 3

Michael and Ethan continue their discussion of this year’s extra-mondo mondo book, Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace.

In this episode:

  • Remember a couple notes ago when we apologized for all of our French pronunciation? cf. Ethan’s pronunciation of “Dubonnet”

  • Some real in-depth stuff about chance, fate, free will, and faith—not super good material for sassy or funny footnotes

  • The infinite sky (also not funny)

  • Talk of John Newton (super not funny)

  • Life is NOT over at 31

  • One-degree turns
