Hmmm. Since the majority are reading it in English, I suppose I should too. The Shrike Send a noteboard - 14/02/2010 11:34:20 PM
I think that would be a sensible move.

Also, my preference would be to have The Master and Margarita much earlier, bringing forward the Gogol if necessary. But that may well just be me...


Tom will read stuff in Russian. I'll read it in English.

I'm using the 1997 publication.

Author: Pasternak, Boris Leonidovich, 1890-1960.
Uniform Title: Doktor Zhivago. English
Title: Doctor Zhivago / Boris Pasternak ; [translation by Max Hayward and Manya Harrari. "The poems of Yurii Zhivago" by Bernard Guilbert Guerney ; introduction by John Bayley]

So...what is the decision on the main book club? Tom - 13/02/2010 03:17:16 AM 993 Views
There are two official book clubs. Rebekah - 13/02/2010 09:50:15 AM 731 Views
By which I mean to say that your order should stand. *NM* Rebekah - 13/02/2010 10:29:50 AM 316 Views
We're happy with that...I was trying to make sure we didn't fracture things too much. Tom - 13/02/2010 02:29:15 PM 661 Views
Absolutely. Rebekah - 13/02/2010 02:38:18 PM 633 Views
So are we a go for Doctor Zhivago for March 15? The Shrike - 13/02/2010 07:34:21 PM 636 Views
I suppose so! Tom - 14/02/2010 02:11:04 AM 639 Views
All righty. Gonna read that, then. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/02/2010 02:36:07 AM 307 Views
I might participate Larry - 14/02/2010 03:05:47 AM 676 Views
I was considering reading it, too. LiterateDog - 14/02/2010 10:37:14 PM 663 Views
Yeah, I know. The Shrike - 14/02/2010 11:26:45 PM 596 Views
Nope. LiterateDog - 14/02/2010 11:31:14 PM 633 Views
Oh well. The Shrike - 14/02/2010 11:35:02 PM 889 Views
Out of curiosity, why not the library? Ghavrel - 15/02/2010 06:33:07 AM 558 Views
It has nothing to do with buying it or not buying it. LiterateDog - 15/02/2010 07:49:01 AM 731 Views
My first week in Boston I met a crazy dude who walked into it. Ghavrel - 15/02/2010 09:37:27 AM 653 Views
Are you guys going to recommend a particular translation of each book for us non-Russophones? Tim - 14/02/2010 01:27:24 PM 641 Views
Uh...I hadn't thought about that. I will try to find out which translations are better. Tom - 14/02/2010 03:08:08 PM 656 Views
That's why I thought it might be good to remind you that the rest of us will have to . *NM* Tim - 14/02/2010 03:37:21 PM 233 Views
I would recommend the Max Hayward/Manya Harari translation. Tom - 14/02/2010 04:55:05 PM 650 Views
Good thing that translation is the main one available in the US (the tradeback form) Larry - 14/02/2010 05:01:33 PM 626 Views
I do have the Spanish original of Cien Años Tom - 14/02/2010 08:39:36 PM 615 Views
Interesting. I have a Hayward/Harari translation nossy - 15/02/2010 04:38:36 PM 663 Views
I'm sure the publisher put it there. Tom - 15/02/2010 05:19:23 PM 566 Views
I have seen a lot of very irresponsible things said about this novel. Tom - 15/02/2010 06:08:27 PM 590 Views
I bet nossy - 16/02/2010 10:32:46 AM 790 Views
No, actually the plot in the movie and plot in the book are quite different. Tom - 16/02/2010 01:39:12 PM 644 Views
I think I'm just gonna read in Dutch - faster that way. Legolas - 14/02/2010 04:10:38 PM 592 Views

Regarding M&M Tom - 15/02/2010 02:22:14 AM 606 Views
Rebekah says there's a good reason for it to be in December. So I'll just go with the plan. *NM* Tim - 15/02/2010 08:48:04 AM 284 Views
Actually, I'm not sure what the reasoning would be, other than to space things out. Tom - 15/02/2010 07:00:29 PM 600 Views
Doesn't seem to be an Audible for Pasternak. *NM* AgentOrange - 14/02/2010 03:36:33 PM 412 Views
Maybe. I've never been interested in finding out what an Audible is. Tom - 14/02/2010 04:56:21 PM 560 Views
It's good. I've found an audio version. *NM* AgentOrange - 15/02/2010 12:35:53 PM 346 Views
I've ordered a copy of Doctor Zhivago Linda - 15/02/2010 03:18:06 PM 708 Views
I'm glad to hear that! Tom - 15/02/2010 07:46:34 PM 570 Views
Got one. nossy - 15/02/2010 04:09:48 PM 710 Views
I just noticed one glaring omission Larry - 15/02/2010 08:06:32 PM 884 Views
All of Nabokov's significant work was written in English while he was living abroad. Tom - 15/02/2010 10:37:20 PM 884 Views
