I often suggest that first-time W&P readers "specialize" on a few specific characters or plot threads so they won't get too overwhelmed by all the people and events. Maybe this is my summer to finally read <i>Pere Goriot</i>... I hope Ann stays with War and Peace — it’s tremendous fun and perfect for beach reading.

So many people approached me asking if I was "really reading it." It ended up being a great conversation started with strangers all over town. Now I tell my single friends, want to meet people, carry around War and Peace.

Then I'll start To The Lighthouse and finish up by the end of July. I might pick a third for August but we'll see how it goes with these two first.

It does seem that it would be a great way to read and to really think about a particular book. I may sign up soon. Thanks! Lectrice,
