Though I haven't yet made any significant progress with the book (I only opened it this evening!), I'm quite enjoying it thus far.

I've had a few exciting deliveries from Book Depository come in, so after War and Peace, I'll be reading a few new releases ... But then I'll jump right back into things; hopefully with Anna Karenina or Don Quixote. Thank you all so much for your kind suggestions! You've truly set me on a literary adventure.
Have heaps of fun. I've certainly been enjoying my own journey with the classics. Just finished The War of the Worlds by H G Wells.
