No, but I don't have a lot of time for reading. So I have to make choices. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 21/12/2009 01:24:44 AM
What is The Master and Margarita about?


To my knowledge, it's a critique of the Soviet Union that has Satan coming to Moscow.

well, I'll see what I remember of the fiest one. jh - 18/12/2009 12:45:08 PM 689 Views
Well, there is this kid... Jacob - 18/12/2009 02:45:16 PM 621 Views
Well, yeah, I remember that. jh - 18/12/2009 05:17:51 PM 698 Views
did you ask old thrashbarg what ineffable means? moondog - 23/12/2009 04:54:40 AM 701 Views
Meh. I'll probably still read The Master and Margarita. No interest in these. *NM* Ghavrel - 18/12/2009 10:35:30 PM 338 Views
Have you already read them Ghavrel? I am just being curious. Tashmere - 19/12/2009 12:21:18 AM 657 Views
No, but I don't have a lot of time for reading. So I have to make choices. Ghavrel - 21/12/2009 01:24:44 AM 762 Views
I could go for reading Feist again. It has been so many years since my husband got me to try it. Tashmere - 19/12/2009 12:18:17 AM 807 Views
I've never taken part in the book club Mjolner - 20/12/2009 06:47:30 AM 761 Views
This one is a full book discussion. *NM* Jacob - 21/12/2009 04:30:50 PM 328 Views
Hey, I actually have the Count of Monte Cristo! Darth_Katie - 20/12/2009 06:51:46 AM 613 Views
Just to be clear, does Magician refer to vol 1 or both? BlackAdder - 20/12/2009 11:36:52 PM 703 Views
Well, to be accurate, MAGICIAN is only really 1 book. It was split into two volumes for a printing. Jacob - 21/12/2009 04:32:55 PM 623 Views
I bought it as a single volume back in 96, I believe. jh - 21/12/2009 04:46:03 PM 674 Views
Well, the one I have in two volumes has the same "preferred edition" label, too. BlackAdder - 21/12/2009 10:08:57 PM 630 Views
That refers to the content... Feist put out a "director's cut" Jacob - 22/12/2009 02:48:59 PM 651 Views
That is the version I read. At the time I couldn't imagine what they would have edited out of it Tashmere - 23/12/2009 03:32:47 AM 594 Views
As far as I know it was oridanally published as a single volume hardback Mark - 04/01/2010 04:43:33 PM 622 Views
Thanks BlackAdder - 21/12/2009 10:07:31 PM 669 Views
A suggestion Knightscape - 25/12/2009 10:57:36 AM 796 Views
I'd be more interested in seeing us try to inform Dumas of his selection. *NM* Tom - 25/12/2009 05:07:42 PM 275 Views
Look here, I got the black candles already! *NM* jh - 25/12/2009 08:07:02 PM 272 Views
I have no interest in the first choice but will be pulling Dumas off the shelf shortly. Tom - 25/12/2009 05:08:25 PM 597 Views
I've read them both. Good choices. *NM* AgentOrange - 26/12/2009 01:39:49 AM 276 Views
My suggestion WON? Wow... Will be there for the Dumas... Definitely uninterested in the Feast. *NM* fionwe1987 - 28/12/2009 03:12:45 AM 319 Views
That's FEIST and so far it's rather "meh" anyway. *NM* BlackAdder - 28/12/2009 06:08:00 AM 357 Views
Just finished part one... it gets more interesting now. *NM* BlackAdder - 02/01/2010 09:53:53 PM 268 Views
