Biggest takeaway so far, 100 pages into book one: The couplet name Boris and Natasha enjoys broader American recognition via the Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle than in War and Peace (even tho Boris Badenov is a twist on Tzar Boris Godunov). This is understandable, since in America's current culture wars, cartoons trump books. One death. May be more. At the rate of 2-3 pages per day, I may finish this tome before I die.
