Just thought I'd mention this hear for anyone who might like to join in.
I'm a member of an online book group called BookiesToo (a Yahoo group, there's a link on the right hand side), as well as their regular 2 chosen books a month last year we started having a Big Summer read of a larger tomb. Our first choice was Vikram Seth's A Suitable Boy. As that was such a success it was decided to do the same again this year & also to have to do the same over Christmas for our antipodean members.
On the 1 June we start reading War & Peace by Leo Tolstoy, most of us are going to using the new translation by Richard Pevear & Larissa Volokhonsky. So if anyone fancies reading this, at a leisurely pace & discussing it too why not come along.
