I've finished reading
War and Peace now.

I enjoyed it immensely and would thoroughly recommend it.

I've a choice of two books to start now: We by Yevgeny Zamyatin, or Funeral in Berlin by Len Deighton - which should i plump for?

And as an extra Brucie Bonus, what are you currently reading and what will be your next book?

Don Quixote,
although I haven't picked it up for about three weeks and I'm only about 1/6th of the way through.

I may never read another book again.

I'm currently reading....something by Jonathan Kellerman
after that I will be reading the next book by him. I like his books.

Read Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, it's one of my favourites.

The da da de da da code by Robert Rankin
It's not very good, much preferred his earlier books. Up next is one called City Boys, not sure who the author is.

We
I'm currently finishing The Glass Bead Game by Hess, rereading Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations, stalled halfway through a book about Rawls and his theory of justice, I've just finished The Sirens of Titan by Vonnegut, and I have this up next.

Although to counteract all that pretension, I should maybe go for something with more tits and guns.

War and Peace was great

Crime and Punishment is much better in terms of Russian novels with 'and' in the title

I've never heard of either of those books, I'd suggest you read Crime and Punishment.

I'm reading Human, all too human by Nietszche at the moment.

Another Russian novel with 'and' in the title is
One Day in The Life of Ivan Denisovich which I also liked a lot
