War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy

Have you ever read it? Attempted to read it? Did you like it?I have this book, but I don't think I've even opened it. I've always wanted to read it, but it's just so intimidating.

I read it many years ago and enjoyed it a lot. I skipped, or skimmed over, many of the more expository chapters in the second half of the book, since they'd gotten very tedious by then.

I've always been too afraid of its size! I saw the movie but I hear it cut out the political part of the book and only left the love story.

Don't let the size intimidate you. You'll get to the end the same way you do with any other book - page by page. And in this one, you'll get a lot of story along the way.

It's a very good book. But I can only read Russians in January or February, usually when I had cramps. Since I have been liberated by menopause, I don't read them.
