WAR And PEACE
Paav:
War and Peace is my white whale. I have started this book three times and I just couldn't get through it. I have been thinking about picking up that new translation, it's about time I tried again.
RedLion:
Having read classic epics like Les Miserables, I constantly surprise myself with my inability to get past the first 400 pages of War and Peace. It's just too slow and relentlessly expository, with very little actually occuring.
amok:
I basically didn't do anything else for a week after starting reading this. As with all the classic Russian stuff, it takes about half the book to actually pick up the pace and stuff to start happening, but it's worth the wait. The bizarre philosophical tangents/essays later on are great too. Definitely worth the initial-few-hundred-page immersion period.
SonofZ3:
Sounds like I'll enjoy it. =) And hey, getting a good grade for reading a classic piece of literature is just about the right way to end a college career.
Paav:
I still contend that there is no right way to end a college career. Finishing in four years was a terrible mistake.
