Re: Tried before but never made it to the end. Put me off painting n decorating for life. Archived Message Posted by brooks on April 4, 2020, 3:52 pm, in reply to "Tried before but never made it to the end. Put me off painting n decorating for life." I'm nearing the end of War n Peace at the moment. Not bad. But certainly overrated. Certainly not. Impossible to overrate an immortal masterpiece. I've probably read it six or seven times in the past 30 years. It seems almost miraculous to me. As E.M.Forster said, while reading War and Peace "great chords begin to sound, and we cannot say exactly what struck them." Not everyone hears those chords however....Chacun a son gout.
