Should I read...?

[Hen she/her]

In which people ask whether a book is worth reading or not. Are there websites for this? Apps for this? Careers dedicated to this? Yes yep and Most Definitely. Am I making this thread any way? Please refer to the fifth sentence.  Mostly I want to ask if I should read a book but I don't wanna look it up on Goodreads, (besides, I trust you guys more). 

Should I read War and Peace? Is it worth it? Will I be crushed, emotionally, physically, and motivationally?

Eh, War and Peace isn't very good. But you should read...(drumroll please)...Cradle.

Oh gosh, I love recommending books.  I'd like to know what you're into first though, as I don't want to recommend an enimies-to-lovers romance when you're preferred story type is an intergalactic quest with lots of descriptions of bloody battles.  Both are great, but you may not think so!

Yes, you should. 

BUT

1) Be in the mood for Tolstoy

2) Get a modern translation. Ye Olde Constance translation is cheaper, but it's not as good a translation AND you also have to deal with outdated English
