Finally. Took me 10 months, reading a few pages each morning at breakfast, but War and Peace is finally done. I freely admit near the end I began to breeze through Tolstoy's philosophical ramblings pretty quickly. This was another of my long term read projects and it was okay.
Too many characters. Too many digressions. Of course this is all subjective. I really liked Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, a masterpiece. But I found War and Peace kinda boring. Not horrible, just blah.
