After two weeks of reading War and Peace a chapter a day, I am still enjoying it. I have been able to process it better than I did the first time through. The characters seem to have more depth. So far, it's all about high society life in Petersburg and Moscow, but all the important (non-historical) characters are introduced.

Cathythoughts I‘m reading this one for 2021 too ..., I‘m very slow so far, but it‘s good 3y
Caroline2 I‘m reading this for 2021 too! 😀 I‘m trying to do a chapter a day but I‘ve missed some days. I‘m loving it so far. 👍 3y

One week into reading War and Peace one chapter per day. The book starts by introducing the main characters and a humorous story involving a bear.
I am really enjoying this edition and translation. The translators keep the French where Tolstoy wrote French, with footnotes in English. There are also notes that provide background information. It also includes a historical index and a list of principal characters.

Nute I think that this is the best way to get through big, dense books...one chapter a day. 3y
