I would suggest reading it. ![](/site_media/images/smilies/smile.gif)

If only to rip into the book for being poorly-plotted, written, etc.

Of course, I don't expect this to be the case, but I do have the book on hand and will read it before the month is over.
Ever say which translation of Bulgakov would be the better to own? I have two now.

By which I mean to say that your order should stand.

We're happy with that...I was trying to make sure we didn't fracture things too much.

Out of curiosity, why not the library?

Are you guys going to recommend a particular translation of each book for us non-Russophones?

Uh...I hadn't thought about that. I will try to find out which translations are better.

I would recommend the Max Hayward/Manya Harari translation.

Good thing that translation is the main one available in the US (the tradeback form)

No, actually the plot in the movie and plot in the book are quite different.

Hmmm. Since the majority are reading it in English, I suppose I should too.

Rebekah says there's a good reason for it to be in December. So I'll just go with the plan. *NM*

Actually, I'm not sure what the reasoning would be, other than to space things out.

Doesn't seem to be an Audible for Pasternak. *NM*

Maybe. I've never been interested in finding out what an Audible is.
