I'm curious. I think his later books are crap, but his earlier books are quite interesting.


Not very well read in regards to Russian writers, particularly those of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Dare I ask about the book club's next selection and timing? - 09/02/2010 02:49:56 AM 1328 Views
You dare too much! - 09/02/2010 02:51:48 AM 1074 Views
Based on the length of the last one, why not The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire? - 09/02/2010 01:29:13 PM 983 Views
At least that one would have a bit more depth to it - 09/02/2010 01:46:29 PM 990 Views
Does anyone agree with Gibbon's conclusions? - 09/02/2010 06:45:09 PM 941 Views
Currently, no. Not really. - 09/02/2010 06:57:14 PM 1063 Views
I would have thought you would have enjoyed his ironic sendup of Christianity, though. - 10/02/2010 01:58:12 PM 1177 Views
His diction is lovely. - 10/02/2010 04:12:09 PM 1002 Views
I'm enjoying it thoroughly. - 10/02/2010 05:54:20 PM 915 Views
I was wondering myself. - 09/02/2010 03:10:55 AM 910 Views
You know, I thought about doing that a long time ago - 09/02/2010 01:30:40 PM 997 Views
Oh, go ahead and do it. - 09/02/2010 06:51:35 PM 1100 Views
That would be outstanding. *NM* - 09/02/2010 07:06:14 PM 476 Views
Well, seeing the expressed interest... - 09/02/2010 09:28:41 PM 963 Views

So how about keeping Zamyatin and replacing Lukyanenko with Pelevin? - 10/02/2010 02:45:33 AM 1090 Views
Sounds good. - 10/02/2010 01:36:13 PM 1041 Views
Чапаев и Пустота - 10/02/2010 01:44:23 PM 1025 Views
It's called "Buddha's Little Finger" in English for some reason. See the amazon review as well. *NM* - 10/02/2010 01:51:02 PM 475 Views
Sounds interesting. I'd be interested in reading it. *NM* - 10/02/2010 05:44:20 PM 477 Views
Do we have a final list, then? - 10/02/2010 05:53:46 PM 1043 Views
Well. - 10/02/2010 06:36:00 PM 1099 Views
We're probably not choosing Master and Margarita for our first selection. - 10/02/2010 08:16:36 PM 1101 Views
Super dooper. *NM* - 10/02/2010 09:08:47 PM 465 Views
Ah, I should have looked here first. - 10/02/2010 09:34:30 PM 930 Views
In regards to order, a slightly different proprosal. - 10/02/2010 09:41:38 PM 904 Views
At least I have an idea now of what books to watch for when I am out. - 10/02/2010 11:04:26 PM 924 Views
My gamble has paid off. - 21/05/2010 09:57:19 PM 893 Views
Hmm - 10/02/2010 12:20:52 PM 921 Views
I might be able to squeeze that in with my other readings - 10/02/2010 12:53:02 AM 1082 Views
Have you read Pelevin? - 10/02/2010 03:16:22 AM 899 Views
No - 10/02/2010 04:44:18 AM 953 Views
I was wondering this as well. - 09/02/2010 01:25:09 PM 941 Views
We'll try to make sure the next book is even longer than this one was. - 09/02/2010 01:31:44 PM 921 Views
The choice is obvious, then. A la Recherche du Temps Perdu. *NM* - 09/02/2010 01:48:15 PM 449 Views
Oi, shush you. *NM* - 09/02/2010 02:16:19 PM 446 Views
Patience - 09/02/2010 02:15:14 PM 896 Views
Is Larry right? Are you ecstatic about the prospect of an independent book club? *NM* - 10/02/2010 03:18:44 AM 478 Views
The intent has always been to encourage people to hold and lead discussions. - 10/02/2010 04:29:23 PM 1000 Views
I think Greg and I are 95% solid on our list. - 10/02/2010 04:33:12 PM 1040 Views
I am fine with whatever order you guys choose. - 10/02/2010 06:25:31 PM 1046 Views
I'm happy now. *NM* - 10/02/2010 08:15:07 PM 461 Views
Amen. - 10/02/2010 06:36:49 PM 993 Views
Lol. I figured it was put off for at least a month to let things cool down. *NM* - 10/02/2010 12:32:05 AM 487 Views
Let what cool down? The earth's core? Hell, perhaps? *NM* - 10/02/2010 03:19:24 AM 432 Views
No. Just no. *NM* - 10/02/2010 12:41:51 AM 432 Views
How about the три мушкетёра? - 10/02/2010 05:32:55 AM 889 Views
Wouldn't that be French? - 10/02/2010 12:21:50 PM 937 Views
Да - 10/02/2010 01:38:36 PM 867 Views
Yes. Королева Марго is French, too. *NM* - 10/02/2010 01:53:41 PM 441 Views
La reine Margot? *NM* - 10/02/2010 03:18:23 PM 411 Views
Oui. - 10/02/2010 04:34:25 PM 853 Views
I nominate The Road by Cormac McCarthy! - 10/02/2010 04:55:24 PM 1182 Views
