Erm, I don't know if this is what anyone wants to hear, but I'm re-reading War and Peace. There's a new translation and the book is hell's long - 1200+ pages - so it's blocking any other reading for a couple of weeks but it's really good and I have to ration myself. Several nights on the trot I've stayed awake too long reading it and then been unable to get to sleep so I suppose that's some kind of recommendation.
I read it first in the old translation when i was in my 20s and someone gave us this new one last Christmas, so it's taken a while to get round to it but I'm finding it gripping. It helps that I remember some of the plot from before and the old film with Audrey Hepburn, Mel Ferrer and ?Henry Fonda.
