I love you guys.
Life is short and it's ok to allow ourselves to enjoy some shitposting on Veeky Forums between reading periods.
Anyways, title.
Im reading an antology of short stories from Chejov.
WHAT ARE YOU READING THREAD!
Gabriel Nguyen
Luke Smith
Anna Karenina currently.
Have you read Ward no. 6?
It's definitely my favourite Chejov story
Bentley Murphy
The Epic of Gilgamesh, Stephanie Dalley translation. I previously read the Andrew George translation and I'm quite surprised to see how different the rendering is in style and tone and even content, in some places. I wish I knew Akkadian and Sumerian because translations can be confusing.
Jose Morgan
Yep, I reread that one recently. I like it very much.
I've read this too, very interesting stuff.
Evan Robinson
These three.
The one in the middle is "The Peasants" by Stanislaw Reymont
Evan Rodriguez
currently reading a day in the life of ivan denisovich, will finish it tomorrow and start franny and zoey by salinger
Isaiah Stewart
>a day in the life of ivan denisovich
I have the intention to read (or is it "of reading"?) this one as soon as I get my hands on it. Do you like it?
Mason Russell
it's a bit monotonous as you would expect from a book about daily life in a prison camp, but there's a lot of interesting characters and it's an important historical document. it kinda reminds of down and out in paris and london by orwell
Juan Edwards
>down and out in paris and london
Is this any better than Burmese Days? I though that BD was a little 'sentimental'. Sorry Orwell, you're still my hero.
Xavier Butler
The Sot-Weed Factor by John Barth
I'm not too far in. Ebenezer is just leaving for Maryland. I am enjoying it thoroughly.
