Apparently not for me Larry Send a noteboard - 26/01/2012 11:34:29 PM
I remembered something about Chekhov that you didn't like, thought it was his stories and after seeing the plays ranked so highly on your list, I thought maybe it was that. Guess I was wrong :P

Slightly off-topic, have you read Blue Lard? I seem to recall there being some problems with Sorokin and the government back when that was published. I read his Day of the Oprichnik and was a bit underwhelmed.

I was wondering if you'd have to include Sholokhov there Larry - 26/01/2012 05:15:48 PM 695 Views
I think it's probably safe to conclude from that list... Legolas - 26/01/2012 08:15:35 PM 687 Views
Considering his first 20... Larry - 26/01/2012 09:30:10 PM 659 Views
Oh, nevermind, I'd overlooked his plays there on the 16th position. Ignore what I said. Legolas - 26/01/2012 09:42:03 PM 650 Views
You were absolutely 100% correct, though. Tom - 26/01/2012 11:29:50 PM 571 Views
It was more in chronological order, rather than in terms of quality Tom - 26/01/2012 11:35:10 PM 2532 Views

Zamyatin? *NM* rebelaessedai - 30/01/2012 10:17:29 AM 310 Views
What did you want to ask about Zamyatin? *NM* Tom - 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* Legolas - 02/02/2012 06:42:22 PM 269 Views
Shit, did I miss it? rebelaessedai - 03/02/2012 09:07:24 AM 689 Views
