I did. A while ago. Good, but didn't fulfill the expectations I had beforehand. It is a demanding book though, I mean, most russian classics are, but
War & Peace is exceptional. It has a rich gallery of characters, many intrigues and seperate plots. You really have to concentrate. But do read it! It's sort of "manditory" isn't it?
I'm reading
the Autograph man by Zadie Smith. So far, not good. I like how she creates unconventional characters, and original settings (as always), but
the Autograph Man just doesn't have
it. Interesting stuff about Kabbalah though.
Also reading
Ignorance, by Milan Kundera. I dare say he is a terrific author. The tiny book feels more like a long essay/diary than a novel.
