I have an announcement to make!
I started reading War and Peace today! It had been gathering dust - literally; the pages are yellow - on my bookshelf since 1997; and mind you, it is not in a durable edition but a cheap, ugly Signet Classic. Some of the pages might fall out since those damn Signet Classics are so fragile (this happened to me when I read Crime and Punishment). Anyway, I'm rambling.
Is there any particular theme or motif I should look out for to greater appreciate the novel?
Has anyone here read it?
What are your thoughts on it?

I know Russian very well (there are some Russians in my lineage :)), though I rarely read Russian authors.
