War and Peace

Everything that happens in life is somewhere in War & Peace (see our deep thoughts here.) But here you are, avoiding W&P because it's Tolstoy and whatever “zzz” is in Russian. Well, it’s not, you philistine! Think of it as The O.C. with longer names. Listen to the Naxos Audiobooks edition, because narrator Neville Jason does different voices for all 8,000 characters. Available on Audible. —Lash Canino
