I got through War and Peace and Atlas Shrugged last year. I had previously only read War and Peace in an abridged version back in high school. I really enjoyed the uncut version translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky. Atlas Shrugged was another story. Way too long, and keeps making its point over and over. Some of the events and characters are laughable. I appreciated the point of the book much more than the book itself.

To: Sans-Culotte

I am reading War and Peace right now and only have 100 pages to go (Out of 1386!).

When I turn the last page and close the book, I may have to start all over again so I won’t suffer from “Separation Anxiety”. LOL!
