Considering his first 20... Larry Send a noteboard - 26/01/2012 09:30:10 PM
that Tom really loathes Chekhov and considers him massively overrated.


I'd say collectively he comes ahead of Sholokhov, which I know he doesn't care all that much for, based on previous conversation about Quiet Flows the Don (which I'll be reviewing in March, it seems).

Oh, nevermind, I'd overlooked his plays there on the 16th position. Ignore what I said. Legolas - 26/01/2012 09:42:03 PM 796 Views
You were absolutely 100% correct, though. Tom - 26/01/2012 11:29:50 PM 717 Views
It was more in chronological order, rather than in terms of quality Tom - 26/01/2012 11:35:10 PM 2685 Views

Zamyatin? *NM* rebelaessedai - 30/01/2012 10:17:29 AM 369 Views
What did you want to ask about Zamyatin? *NM* Tom - 31/01/2012 08:38:31 PM 341 Views
I suspect she, like me, read a little too fast and wrongly thought she'd found an omission. *NM* Legolas - 02/02/2012 06:42:22 PM 346 Views
