Ah yes, War and peace was a challenging read. I read them back in Highschool and it took me two months. It's something I am going to re-read to see if I have different takeaway from it. I think Lex's choices were fine. It was mostly classic and I also read 80% of it. I have to agree with him that some of them are great to re-read again, like Siddharta by Herman Hesse. Do you have any reading goal this year?
