Here's the summer reading project; we'll see if I can get it done in three months, or if it takes me the remainder of the year. One of the difficulties in a project like this, aside from the difficulties inherent in reading Tolstoy in general, is that the mass of names and languages and footnotes feeds into every grad-school reading habit I have: i.e., it's easy to lose sight of the forest because I'm too busy trying to identify all the trees.
Still, I'm excited to be reading it--these two translators are consummate artists. I loved their edition of Anna Karenina.
