Yay! So glad to meet a kindred spirit. 🙂

It took me four months to read War and Peace. There are some sections where it’s easy to get bogged down, but majority of the story is really amazing. I have read all but two of Jane Austen’s novels (Sense and Sensibility, and Northanger Abbey) and I’m hoping to get to them this year. Of the ones I’ve read, Pride and Prejudice, Emma, and Persuasion are my favorites. My other favorite book is Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. The Iliad was a little difficult, it reiterates quite a bit, and has a lot of military/war speak, including some lengthy battle descriptions. However, The Odyssey reads more novel-like and is an adventure narrative; it was easier to follow. They aren’t stories I’ll ever read again, but I wanted to experience them. 🙂

I highly recommend the Amelia Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters. *thumbs up*

A little about my WIP: Set in post Civil War Richmond, VA, the story of the daughter of a former plantation owner unfolds as she discovers love for the first time, but not quite in the way she imagined it.
