    hopefully there will be a class when I go to university on learning Russian or I'll find some classes somewhere to take. That will be off in the future though, Jean. Help would be appreciated whn I get to the undertaking. I want to read his works all in English first. I've got Crime and Punishment here to read, and will look for copies of his other works.

    It looks like all of his works have been translated into English: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Templat...or_Dostoyevsky

    It is good, bears love it! And Brice, for some reason, pretends to be hating everything Austen.

    There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.

    Started The Eyes of the Dragon. It's very different to other King books, so far.

    They're good. Not the best thing ever but engaging.

    I am doing a King mini-marathon as I count down the days til 4/24...
    I finished my Dark Tower VII re-read, then picked up where I left off last year on my chronological re-read of King's complete works with The Dead Zone. I've read the book at least twice before, but this is my first time reading it in hardcover. It is a slightly different (better?) experience. I'm at the point now where--if I continue a chrono re-read--I can do it with first edition hardcovers, but I may just skip to my new Desperation Grant edition for the next book in the 'thon...

    I am reading Gardens of the Moon, book one of Malazan Book of the Fallen. I can't quite decide how I feel about it yet.

    Just a little over halfway in Catching Fire. Definitely not enjoying it as much as the first novel ...

    Not at all, they're sturdy and have a great textile feel.

    Yes, but they're mighty difficult to hold open at times, feeling a lot heavier on the thumbs than a paperback.

    Well I read at home, usually reclined in a chair or bed, so that's not much of a problem
