I don't get the big deal about War and Peace. It's really long, but it's a really long, fabulous SOAP OPERA. I read it in one "lost weekend" of sheer readerly decadence. It didn't seem like high literature to me. But in the house I grew up in, Russian literature was Gogol and Solzhenitsyn (and WOW am I sure I butchered his name). That was the stuff I couldn't get through, no matter how skinny the volume.

I may not have read War and Peace, but I have read The Gulag Archipelago. Nothing by Gogol though.
