Reading War And Peace by Leo Tolstoy

I still haven't given up on this book, and I've found something that might help to keep me on track.  Jillian at A Room of One's Own is hosting a War And Peace read along, basically reading a chapter a day for all of 2011.  Now, that seems easy enough, doesn't it?  Her post can be viewed here.

On my last attempt I managed to get to Part Two, Chapter XI.
