Hello all, 

I am an avid reader, both fiction and nonfiction (and sometimes graphic novels) would love to talk all things books. 

Favourite book is War and Peace.

Thanks. Of the top of my head I would say Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Austen, Orwell, Wilde, Shakespeare but I could probably add many more lol.

Favourite book is War and Peace.

I read War and Peace when I was 15 and supposed to be revising for mock O levels, I was far too engrossed in the book to even think of picking up my texts despite beng the sort of stress bunny who usually got up at 4  in the morning to fit in 3 hours more of revision when there were exams.  I  surprised everyone, most of all my teachers, by passing every exam, a first, which goes to show the power of a good book.

 

I still love it and am still annoyed by the misoginistic ending.
