War & Peace is a book that has become a longstanding joke because of it's sheer size.
However I liked a boy who'd read it twice and since I hate to be outdone when it comes to reading... I read it twice as well.
I was amazed at how interesting it was once I got into it - the characters are awesome and it follows each one in detail for a period of twenty years.
The only thing I didn't like was how some of the historical battles were written blow by blow with campaign manoeuvres etc and those parts were a little hard to read.
So... to all the people who call yourselves bookworms...
Have you read War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy?
