I picked up a new translation of Tolstoy's "War and Peace" and am making that my "winter book." But, I will read other things will attempting to finish the 1300 pages of this book. So far, I'm only 120 pages into it, Part One was good, it dealt mostly with the main characters pre-war life in Moscow and/or Petersburg. Part Two is now into "getting ready for the war" and it's a bit slow going, and a bit of challenge. I decided to read this, after seeing that this new edition was on a number of book critic's top choices of 2007. Stay tuned, we'll see how I make out.
