Sfist Jon grudgingly admits: "Okay- I want to read War & Peace this year. Because every year I say to myself it's time I should read (aren't we supposed to read it?) and every year I don't. I actually picked it up once and read through the first twenty pages but got so confused by all the characters long names and their relationship to other characters with long lames, I gave up on it. Maybe this year. Maybe not."
