Although I seriously think that I will probably get behind this week, sigh! <br />I think if my freelancing goes well I will hire an accountant as soon as I'm convinced that I am financially stable enough to do so. This tax stuff is making my head hurt! Oh well, at least it is relatively easy this year!<br /><br />Hehe yes, Maybe if they became friends they would be good influences on each other? Or like two idiots together would make somebody who is not quite so stupid? I don't know. Silly Rostov, silly Pierre!

Because he's stupid. But yeah, at least he is trying!<br /><br />Haha, yeah, I felt sorry for him a bit too, then I jumped right back on the Andrei hating wagon.

B...Glad that we're all caught up now - hooray! Best of luck with filing all your forms! Managing paperwork is not fun task, that's for sure.<br /><br />Aw, I hope Pierre ends up with a friend with enough common sense for the two of them. He really needs someone to be frank and realistic with him! Same thing with Rostov - boy, do they know how to pick 'em, eh?Etudesquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13106938419901219249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2163886247083346971.post-62705932732069278352015-02-24T06:23:04.954+09:002015-02-24T06:23:04.954+09:00I totally agree about Pierre - I keep hoping that ...I totally agree about Pierre - I keep hoping that he'll meet someone that'll make him realise that he's being a stupid doormat and give him some practical advice on how to actually achieve something that he wants to. I thought when he became a Freemason he'd find some people to talk some sense into him but then they just filled him up with ideas and sent on his way! I suppose at least he's <i>trying</i> to be good other than some people we might mention *cough*Andrew*cough*<br /><br />I think I felt sorry for Andrew/Andrey/Andrei for about two chapters just after Lise died and he seemed to be acting like a human and then he was an arse about the serfs and I remembered how much of a plonker he was. I hope that eventually he realises that he's being a tool and gets better but I suspect not :|Lit Addicted Brithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15307643382274474774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2163886247083346971.post-10118744501054782692015-02-23T23:25:56.219+09:002015-02-23T23:25:56.219+09:00The prompts are super useful! :D
Other books, yay...The prompts are super useful! :D<br /><br />Other books, yay! I am really really enjoying War and Peace, but I think that having something to break up a book this long does help! I read The Martian, which is pretty far away subject wise from War and Peace, it was good to have a break from it! And now I am excited about getting back to it, which will happen tomorrow as my reading tonight was dedicated to tax related stuff. Yippee.<br /><br />Hehe, it does say a lot about our opinions of them! Yeah, I still think that it might turn out that they were conning him all along. Maybe... Poor stupid Pierre! <br /><br />Andrei is THE WORST! Urgh.

I read The Rosie Project from Wednesday to yesterday and it seems very light in comparison!<br /><br />I think it says a lot about our opinions of the Freemasons that we both assumed they were going to try to con Pierre out of his money! To be fair, he DID sign a lot of his property over to them...<br /><br />Oh, right! Andrey's 'you're doing them a disservice by educating them' spiel. I'd forgotten about that.
