Answer:

Given the length of Tolstoy's lengthy book, it makes sense that the present perfect continuous verb tense in this sentence indicates that reading War and Peace is an action that started in the past but is not yet complete in the present.

Frequently used with verbs in the present perfect continuous tense are the terms recently and lately.

Recently, Mia has been taking part in flute competitions. (And she'll keep doing it.)

Recently, I haven't been well. (And I continue to be sickly.)

I've been losing my wallet and keys lately. (Since I'm positive I have no idea where they are.)

Naturally, not every verb is appropriate for ongoing action. Several examples of these verbs include

1. I began to read this book at 5 o'clock and It is 9 o'clock now and I am still reading it.

2. It began to rain on Monday and It is Friday now and it's still raining.

3. She began to knit a sweater last month and It is Monday now and she is still knitting.

4. You began to practice for the competition last Friday and Its Tuesday and you are still working.

5. She began to wait for you at 5 o'clock. It is 6 o'clock now and she's still waiting.​
