I think I tried once in High School, but couldn't make it through. Maybe a couple chapters at most.

I just read "War and Peace" in your topic. It wasn't that difficult.

I had to read it for a class. I might try it again one day when we aren't dissecting it.

[–] sslssg (35194) a year ago

That was a long time ago when we had a gpa out of 9. I don't remember exactly, but I think I got an 8 in the class. It was over the year and we read a couple of other books as well.
