About

This is a year-long readalong that follows Simon Haisell's 2025 slow read of War and Peace. All details are on his Substack!

SCHEDULE:
  • Read a chapter a day (gives you 4 days off) →see Haisell's daily reading schedule 
  • I've organized the forums by volume parts! 
    • This allows more flexibility in your reading schedules, but the "deadlines" are based on his daily schedule
    • You'll only be able to add specific chapter comments once you're done the volume, so maybe write those in your journal entries
  • If you want to check out the main discussion for Haisell’s slow read & find a bigger community of people who love War and Peace, check it out here!

SOME HOUSEKEEPING: 
  • You may talk about any foreshadowing or spoilers for further in the book in your comments, but please use the spoiler mark!
  • Please be respectful of everyone! Different opinions are welcome, and no hate is tolerated
  • Take initiative! Ask questions & share additional information or resources that assisted your reading experience
  • This readalong also happened last year, so some comments may be a year old!

Have fun :)

PRE-BOOK DISCUSSION

Welcome everyone! Feel free to introduce yourself, your relationship to War and Peace, what you hope to get out of this, basically anything you want to add! But no spoilers please!

You're also free to share questions/suggestions for this Readalong. Just put "FOR MIA" at the top so I know that it's separate from the book discussion!
