OOOh yes yes yes russian literature..... Specially in the wintermonths!!! With snow outside and hot chocolate and a nice warm blanket...

"Oblomov" by Ivan Goncharov is a favorite of mine, and I LOVE anything Pushkin ....

I've not read much of Vladimir Nabokov but this thread is inspiring me to go back to the library tomorrow!!

So interesting to read all these... I am writing new names on my library list!

^ Great idea, Carrie!

And Ethan? You may want to utilize the search function on this board to look for similar threads before starting another one. This prevents us from having 13 threads about the same thing. The subject of food is obviously exempt, since we do actually have 13 thread about it at any given time.

How Still My Love,
Paula

Sorry about that. I will definately use the search next time. As for the food threads, I don't think only 13 is enough

Much Love,
Ethan
