Anyway, it's a cracking book, as is 1984.
My favourite is 'Crime and Punishment', I have it in English and in Russian (Prestupleniye i nakazaniye) but after about six years i'm still on page one of the Russian version. I refer back to the English and end up re-reading the English version. One interesting thing, the book in English is a pieice of Penguin tat, the Russian one is supremely well bound, Owlhoot will have an orgasm, covers in relief, cheaper then the Penguin...
'V nachalye Yulya...', 'In early July..' - I think that's how it starts, it's a very evocative read.Comment

Only a pretentious knob would come on here saying they had read it. I have read Crime and Punishment for e.g. but I don't see the point posting about it.Last edited by doodab; 12 May 2011, 14:40.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you.
