Because I have not yet read it!
The only Russian literature I've ever tried to read is Anna Karenina and I've never been able to finish it. But, I thought I'd perhaps give Dr Zhivago a try with the rest of you. Alas, it's not available for my Kindle. No more paper books for Jose.
I'm getting it from the library. As could you . . . Or Amazon . . .
So...what is the decision on the main book club?

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

So are we a go for Doctor Zhivago for March 15?

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.

That's why I thought it might be good to remind you that the rest of us will have to

I would recommend the Max Hayward/Manya Harari translation.

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

I have seen a lot of very irresponsible things said about this novel.

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.

All of Nabokov's significant work was written in English while he was living abroad.
