[QUOTE="nikolai, post: 1711358, member: 10130"] I don't think [i]War and Peace[/i] would be a good choice. I think it has too much status, is too long, and is too special interest (or off topic, as historical fiction) to be an appropriate choice for a Fantasy & Sci-Fi Books board. I really don't think we'd get very many people reading it, or much discussion. And there are already lots of places of the internet where you can talk about Tolstoy, if you want to. I'm trying to pick something that will catch lots of peoples interest, that hopefully won't disapoint them once they've read it (so they go on to read other selections), and will get them talking. I also want something reasonably "high profile", but that's also not going to be something a lot of people are going to read automatically - otherwise there's no point being in a book group. I'd welcome any feedback, any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
