At this point I feel like I'm really scraping the bottom of the barrel (the two last being some terrible pieces of socialist realism that are valuable more from a historical perspective).


Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

I was wondering if you'd have to include Sholokhov there - 26/01/2012 05:15:48 PM 698 Views
I think it's probably safe to conclude from that list... - 26/01/2012 08:15:35 PM 688 Views
Considering his first 20... - 26/01/2012 09:30:10 PM 660 Views

What did you want to ask about Zamyatin? *NM* - 31/01/2012 08:38:31 PM 280 Views
I suspect she, like me, read a little too fast and wrongly thought she'd found an omission. *NM* - 02/02/2012 06:42:22 PM 270 Views
