Default Re: Leo Tolstoy: War And Peace

My first post here and I'm going to jump in at the deep end. No, I have not read War and Peace yet (and I stress yet), but I recently bought the Anthony Briggs translation which, I have to say, on first glance looks eminently readable. Of the people here who've read it, which translation(s) have you read? Which one would you recommend? Does it really matter? (I suppose the answer to the latter is yes, of course it matters!)
