War and Peace - Leo Tolstoy

Here it is, The Big One. A book that everyone talks about but has never read? A high school student once challenged me to read it, the giant Tolstoy masterpiece, and she did it, she read the whole thing. I felt small and lazy, not because she beat me, but because I am sometimes both of those things. This is a beautiful copy that would look great on the bookshelf too, an 'oh that ol' thing', kind of vibe. It's gorgeous, and from what I hear, a great story.
