Follow and repost by midday on Saturday 27th and I’ll pick someone at random! Which shelf will you choose?

I’ve finished reading War and Peace! Took just under a year, and honestly, I didn’t enjoy it. That’s it for me and Tolstoy. He’s had two chances (I didn’t like Anna Karenina either). Which huge classic shall I try in 2026? 💙📚🖋️
