War and Peace was actually my first step into Russian literature with the Anthony Briggs translation. It's a book I haven't stopped thinking about since I read it and hope to reread it again soon. I was surprised that I kept up with the characters and names as well as I did, but reading a lot of high fantasy novels helped with that I think 😂
-
Yes to all of this!!! Great discussion! Buddy reading it with you has been so fun, and it has definitely helped me push through the slower parts. ❤❤❤
-
This was so good! I wish I had had this video when I read War and Peace. Buddy reading it was the best help too. I agree!
-
woohoo you are moving along! I agree with so much of this and it could be applied to any long and challenging book!
-
Very helpful video! You did a great job setting expectations when going into it. Definitely encouragement for me to actually get started! (:
-
Really enjoyed this, I am just on the cusp of starting the book, so you gave me some great tips. Thank you!
-
Great video! You would make a great teacher 😜 I completely agree about reading it With others! I took a Lit class and one of the books they assigned was w&p (the groan class wide that was heard 😂) but because we read and discussed it together it was so much better than when I read it the first time! I wish the codex cantina lived in my head so I could hear their commentary while I read certain things!
-
This has been very insightful... Thank you for taking out time and making a precise and very informative video for those of us who are wanting to start war and peace ... Thanks a lot 🤗

Love your channel. Just getting into classics after only reading Jane Austen and Anne of Green Gables. Would love videos on more of the larger classics to check out prior to reading.

I'm starting Anna Karenina in January and I'm a mixture of excitement and apprehension about it. Thanks for the good tips!😎📚

O. M. G!! I just finished Tolstoys Resurrection!! I’m just speechless. What a magnificent book. If you haven’t read it, please do. I really appreciate Tolstoy more than Dostoyevsky, I’m pretty sure. Anyway, the last chapter was brilliant and I’m going to go read it again. I’m just so in love with these characters. 🤞🏻🤠
-
Hey! I loved this! Could you maybe make one similar for crime and punishment? I want to get into Russian classics and these videos are just so helpful!
-
I have just started the book, so your comments are valuable. I am listening to the audiobook as I walk and I have already realised that I may well need a character / family list to help me stay clear. I am also considering getting a print copy to read sections to enrich the experience more.
-
I've started the Brigg's translation and I'm glad you mentioned the soldier's dialogues because it wasn't sitting with very well. I know it's not too late to switch editions either.😊
-
This is my second time starting and I’m determined to finish for the first time 😩
-
I had no idea that there were different translations of this book!

P@v was a struggle. Briggs is great. A superfind is Alexander Scourby reading on Youtube. His voice is perfect and sonorous and pronunciation perfect. While Audio has a screaming madman with blackboard screeching voice. I think he is reading Maudes
-
It's a massive book to digest. Especially all the names, many I find hard to pronounce, let alone know how they sound. If you want to try improve your memory, this book will challenge you.
