I also survived Remembrance of Times Past. Can't say I was much the wiser as to what it was about by the time I'd finished though. War and Peace was easier. Not having them both to hand, I can't say whether it was longer or shorter than Lord of the Rings. I've started Clarissa a couple of times but never got much further than about a third of the way through. I'm thinking of getting myself The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire for Christmas.
