I start reading W&P in January 2024. I have been taking it very slow. A chapter a day. Now just starting Book 12. Some parts of the book can be a little tedious but so many nuggets of wisdom, fun, despair and love. The characters are so interesting. Pierre is an obvious standout but you have Natascha, Mary, Andrew and Count Rostov to name a few. This book gives you battles, comets, balls and life in 1800s Russia warts and all. ❤ it!

One battle scene I really enjoyed was Pierre embroiled in the Battle of Borodino. In his usual bumbling way he was there are a spectator, whilst men died left, right and centre around him. One of Europes bloodiest battles. Tolstoy is a genius. Also in the first battle at the beginning of the book the French trick the Russians and cross the bridge, showing that in most of these battles they really are being led by donkeys, with zero military strategy.

I recommend watching the BBC TV adaptation (edit: the one from 2016 with Lily James & Paul Dano)! It’s so SO good and it’s what made me wanna read it. My general rule with long classics that have a large cast of characters is to watch a film or tv adaptation first to familiarize myself with the characters, which is funny because I hate to do that for any other type of book, and stubbornly stay away from their adaptations until I’ve read the book.

Late to this video, but oh well. I collect Everyman’s Library. Very affordable for what you get. Those are the ones I’m really building my collection around. But also I have a lot of Word Cloud Classics. They are colorful and pretty, but they don’t hold up that well with extended use so worth noting. If money is no issue then Easton Press… They are the most stunning, highest quality books I know. I would love to get a few later on. Thanks for a great video!
