I liked War and Peace, I don't think it deserves its reputation as a hard read. I admit I skimmed some of the lecture-y bits in between the sections of story, but the actual story was pretty gripping.
On the other hand, I failed to get anywhere with Don Quixote. The tone of it just failed to click with me. I keep meaning to have another go at it, but it's never quite high enough on the list.
