Has anyone read War and Peace? Just found it on the road and think I should give it a go.... At some point.

Yup. It's long, but it's great.

What’s great about it?

It’s a loong read; you get insights into the characters of the times and you realize nothing has changed. The part of the book where everyone bugged out of Moscow to piss off invading Napoleon was great.

Yep

Pretty dark, and hard to follow with the weird Russian names but very good

Why is it very good?

Dives into the psychology of how normal people can do horrible things

Not yet.

They made us read it at school. A powerful piece, but of course too early to read when you’re 15 😅

It’s very very long 😅💪

I only saw hardcore porn adaptation "War and Piss"

I haven't read it. There's a lot of French in there, and I hate French.

Written during long, cold, boring winters, and probably best read during long, cold, boring winters.

Great. Hardest part is keeping track of all the Russian names.
