Among my purchases this month was the Dunagin translation of
War and Peace as I wasn’t entirely satisfied with P&V. I’m now switching between the two and doing a compare/contrast; each has its strengths. While it’s handy having both on the same reader, I also put the Dunagin on another for when I want them both open at the same time.
