War & Peace - Tolstoy - 02/01/10
Finally finished! Woo! It took, you know, a year or something, but still feels good. I definitely thought I would be trudging through this but right away there were intrigue and subtlety and dynamic, interesting characters. It took a long time to figure out who the main characters were, because there are approximately 100,000 people in this book, but the various scenes and conversations were always engaging and fun to read. There are some astute observations of the human condition, amusing similes, and amazing, clever descriptions (a character's clothing is described as being the color of "thigh of frightened nymph") and and other than sometimes getting (in my opinion) bogged down in critical thinking about history and historians (including the entire second epilogue, which made me want to die), it was an enjoyable read. This edition in particular has a lot of helpful features: a list of the most frequently occurring characters, end notes, a section on the background of the various actual historical figures mentioned, and a whole-book summary by section and part (which made it much easier to find a particular passage you want to go back to).
