New Year Reading

[Heikki Raudaskoski]

My partial answer is: War and Peace. Not only because it is, like
GR, at once huge and intimate. Also because the latest translation
by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky has been, afaik, widely
acclaimed, see e.g.

(Have only read a Finnish translation myself, though.)
