Leonard,Thank you for sharing the first chapter of the novel.
Hi Leonard, thanks for the add, my honor to be in yr friend list :) so apparently we have almost similar taste in books! what an excitement :)I wish you great success with your writing career, and hope reading u soon.
Steven, I definitely recommend War and Peace even though I believe the novel can be shortened. Pierre and Andrei in the novel are interesting characters.
Hi Leonard, thanks for the add. You have an interesting background. :) And hey, The Brothers Karamozov, 1984, The Stranger, and A Hundred Years of Solitude are amazing! I have not read War and Peace yet but it's on my shelf ready to be devoured.
