Yay for The Master and Margarita! Such as awesome, awesome book!
Totally. I believe you too know it by heart. Apart from its other merits, it's an inexhaustible source of quotations.

You say true, I say thankya :)
And every time I have a migraine I remember that specific part of the book and just hope that mine will never ever have such devastating consequences.

I want everyone to read Cloud Atlas.
I absolutely loved this book. It got my vote.
I added The Master and Margarita to my "To Read" list based on all the love it's getting from friends upthread.
I am afraid it will lose most of its charm in translation...
And I must read Cloud Atlas too.

I read CLOUD ATLAS knowing nothing except that it was receiving good reviews. I had no idea of the storyline, structure, etc. It blew me away.

Added Cloud Atlas to my "future reading" list.
Jean, have you seen/read any English translations of The Master and Margarita? I would love to compare it to the original Russian text - the subtleties, the atmosphere, etc.
No, and I dread to see it! Though curiosity might prevail some day.
since it seems that everyone who was going to vote has already voted, the poll will be closed in 36 hours
too bad The Master and Margarita will not make it...
