I just read the opening pages of book six: Prince Andrew (or Andrey) and the stripped oak, spring, Natasha, rebirth. Just totally masterful. What they meant when they said this book was "written in sunlight.

Not that far yet I'm having difficultly getting going. I'm enjoying War and Peace. Lot's going on great battle scene. Just fall asleep alot while reading . I'm reading the Ann Dunnigan translation. Do the other translations have any easier flow.
The more of it read, the more of it one wants to read. Having a temporarily limited mobility, revisiting some of the more engrossing chapters of this classic gives me something interesting to do. Napoleon's little man's complex sure caused alot of suffering. The interplay between all the characters especially Natasha and Pierre is crafted with the cream, of creativity, and the character dialogues are intense.

I agree; that scene where he thinks about the oak tree and what it's actually 'thinking' is superb.
The old writers tended to use nature in this way.
