About the show

Join Logan and Brett as we read the entirety of War and Peace one chapter per day, finishing the whole book in one year. War and Peace is famous for its titanic length. However, this massive book is made up of tiny chapters--averaging only 4 pages long. Moreover, the book has a total of 361 chapters, meaning that just 10-20 minutes of reading per day will cover the entire novel in almost one year exactly. Every day we'll read one chapter of the book, then sit down here and talk about it--what we loved, what we hated, which characters we think would do well on American Idol. Along the way we'll also provide some historical context and help keep track of the book's many characters (and their many many names), so you can focus on enjoying the incredible story and characters of a novel widely (and rightly) considered one of the greatest of all time. Just one chapter each day, and you can tell all your friends: Yeah, I've read War and Peace, you haven't? Our Edition: Penguin Classics Deluxe; Translation by Anthony Briggs.
