I started it once, but didn't finish it...maybe one day.

I once read Anna Karenina (another Tolstoy novel if unaware) and that one is like 900 pages. It was really good imo.

Yeah I've read it. Doesn't have any exploding robots or photos of sloots or comic book characters, so I'm not sure how much it would appeal to miscers.

The main theme of the book is the role of historical events in the lives of individuals, and how those individuals are shaped by and respond to those events.

The book is known for its epic scale, with hundreds of characters and a wide range of settings. It explores themes of love, loss, family, and the meaning of life, and has been widely praised for its psychological depth and realism.

The main characters include Pierre Bezukhov, the illegitimate son of a wealthy count; Andrei Bolkonsky, a disillusioned war hero; Natasha Rostov, a young woman from a noble family; and Prince Andrei Kuragin, a womanizing aristocrat.

The novel follows these characters as they experience love, loss, and the impact of historical events on their personal lives. It explores themes of family, duty, and the meaning of life, and has been praised for its psychological depth and realism.

In summary, War and Peace is a sweeping tale of love, loss, and the role of historical events in shaping individual lives. It is a classic of world literature and remains widely read and studied today.
Pretty obvious when people use the chatbot ai tbh
