  You haven't got time to read Tolstoy's War and Peace, even if it is one of the greatest novels of all time. Don't read it alone! Don't read it at all! Join us as we figure out together what makes this book so darn good... even if it takes us 7 years.

  It's Celebrity Love Island meets Saving Private Ryan and the contestants are Russia's aristocracy.
