World Book Day

[Mike]

World Book Day Today and apparently 66% of the people surveyed in the link lied about reading 1984 and War and Peace. I can guarantee that I have read both of these book and am glad to fall into the 34% of people who have not lied about reading a 'kudos' novel.

I will happily tell the truth also, I've never even picked either 1984 or War and Peace up! My conscience is feeling very clear this afternoon now!

I've read em both, and hated war n peace... russki political intrigue ain't that intriguing to me. I was BORED a lot of the time reading that one. I only finished it out of stubbornness and now can be smug about having read it (and never having to do so again!).

I loved War and Peace! It was an amazing zeitgeist of the time and very interesting. The less interesting (read boring) bits of the book were the retellings of historical battles. They ended up quite dry.
