<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Legoman1, post: 3227233, member: 98409&quot;]green18- Wonderful that you are reading War and Peace! It is very interesting, although it does feel like a soap opera at times. I read War and Peace back in 8th or 9th grade. (Not assigned reading, but, I would come into the school&#039;s library and spend a half hour reading as much as I could.) I finished it before the school year ended, and thought it was very interesting literature about life during Napoleon&#039;s 1812 invasion of Russia. Interestingly, from what I remember, the translation of the book I read had the intro paragraph in French. Also, apparently Russian aristocracy spoke French during that time period.</p><p><br /></p><p>Right now, I am reading &quot;In High Places&quot; by Arthur Hailey. I very much recommend Hailey&#039;s books, because they are very descriptive about whichever topic they delve into, such as Moneychangers- which describes the American banking system, and happenings between the workers of the &quot;First Mercantile Bank&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
