Winter is the absolute BEST time for big Russian novels! Crime and Punishment will be next for me...but I need to do something about that big pile first ;-) I really love classics, but just got into trouble with deadlines here. Good luck with The Brothers Karamazov!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-52323626591322978142009-01-13T22:52:00.000-05:002009-01-13T22:52:00.000-05:00I've really enjoyed PBS' broadcast of Tess of D'Ur...I've really enjoyed PBS' broadcast of Tess of D'Urbervilles which just ended last Sunday (I wish I'd read this post earlier or I would have told you about it sooner!). Sometimes classics are a trial to get through, especially when we're busy, but I find them so much more rewarding than the trite novels we find too much in abundance today. I always like to save my huge Russian reads for Winter. Maybe this year I'll get through The Brothers Karamazov. I hope so!Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-82569166268299651472009-01-11T09:22:00.000-05:002009-01-11T09:22:00.000-05:00Rebecca,It's good to know I'm not alone in this! ...Rebecca,<BR/>It's good to know I'm not alone in this!

Did they explain this or is this the first time I am hearing of it?" It probably depends on how well you remember any of it and how long ago you last read it. It might be helpful to skim the end of the previous chapters or something similar just to freshen up. I can't imagine re-reading all of them again! Good luck to you! :)Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02706544792110129160noreply@blogger.com
