All four volumes?

In the original Russian?

In the original Russian?

Is there any other way?
Have you ever found a translation of War and Peace that didn't lose something from Tolstoy's flowing prose?



This is the most pompous post I've ever written (and yes, I'm open to correction) and I'm actually doing it with Michael D's voice in my head!

On a slightly sadder note, I see CJ Sansom died yesterday. Loved his Shardlake series of books and I am looking forward to being disappointed by the box set on Disney which is available from tomorrow.

Just finished (audiobook). "The Long Game: Inside Sinn Féin" by Aoife Moore. For anyone even considering voting for SF, I would urge you to read this book.

I'm nearly finished it. It's a superbly researched and written book.

Yep, mildly disappointed, had I not read the books I would not have stuck with it

Waco: David Koresh, the Branch Davidians, and A Legacy of Rage
Jeff Guinn

A very interesting read into how people can be led by influential people. It's no wonder so many people today are caught up in conspiracy theories!

I'd give it 7/10... Started & ended well but a little tedious in the middle.
