how much do you think is lost in translation? LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 16/02/2010 03:36:10 PM
I'd be interested in reading at least some of these, but I'm not going to spend the time I could spend studying on the books if I'm going to lose a bunch from reading the translations. And I think I don't have the time to learn Russian :P
