I'm surprised you can tackle all of that Russian literature. I think that takes a special person, a person who is definitely not me. I think I struggle so much with their naming that I get all tangled up in the characters and give up. And yes...you are a very serious bibliophile. I'm impressed.ErraticEllehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08807468379577508119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31828883.post-11653985315617186492015-04-22T14:40:54.623-05:002015-04-22T14:40:54.623-05:00JK Rowling and Jodi Picoult were on my list as wel...JK Rowling and Jodi Picoult were on my list as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31828883.post-49282550785450032312015-04-22T02:16:43.991-05:002015-04-22T02:16:43.991-05:00I read A Wrinkle in Time in fourth grade, once wit...I read A Wrinkle in Time in fourth grade, once with my mother and again with my English class (and had to be ordered not to spoil anything for the other kids who hadn't finished the book yet), and couldn't finish Jane Eyre when I chose it for the independent novel-reading unit in my seventh grade English class (at the eighth grade honors level). I got up to Chapter 35 before I couldn't take any more of that old-fashioned writing style, and am still proud I pulled an 82 on the test by choosing the essay on how Jane is an early feminist, with a few extra points for character IDs.<br /><br />My four favorite writers are Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn (to whom I owe so much, as a writer, a human being, and a Russophile still hoping to parlay this longtime passion into a Ph.D.), Hermann Hesse, Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, and Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev. I also love Bertolt Brecht, Mark Twain, and Dante Alighieri. I'm too serious for my own good.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31828883.post-71636712837106440502015-04-22T00:35:50.797-05:002015-04-22T00:35:50.797-05:00Well I suppose I'm somewhat 2 for 2 then, righ...Well I suppose I'm somewhat 2 for 2 then, right?
