With War and Peace, you managed to read a book I've tried many times, and always failed miserably.

It's huge and it took forever, but it was an easy and engaging read. It might help to approach it like a comic strip or a collection of essays instead of trying to take it in as a whole. I breezed right through and wouldn't have minded much if he went on for another few hundred pages.
