С новым годом, с новой книгой! 365 дней из жизни книжного червя. 1 дек, 2013 at 10:38 PM. Я помню, как в декабре 2008-го года рассказал жене о замысле ЖЖ-дневника чтения. И она, как всегда, поддержала моё начинание. Сказала: "Делай! Так всё и началось с 1 января 2009-го года. Прошло четыре года с той идеи и, наверное, пришло время откланяться. Почти четыре года я усердно вёл этот блог, и это было очень приятное время. Не совру, если скажу, что ведение 365 дней книжного червя. Было для меня важным, очень ...

Thursday, December 11, 2014. 2014 Best of the Best. I guess its that time of year when all of us make lists of the best books we've read all year. Here's mine, i.e., here are the books that touched me the most; that inspired me and lingered in my thoughts throughout the year- my personal best of the best:. Best Book about Nature. Queen Fish - by Viktor Astafyev. The Golden Ass - by Apuleius. Carps and Pikes - by Arkady Averchenko. Best Books about War. Not literature so much as a compilation of women's a...

Sunday, April 27, 2014. Russian Tragedy" - Pyotr Alyoshkin (Russia). Rating: 3 out of 3. This is why I love reading from lists. This is a book that I would had never picked up independently, which would have been a real shame, as it is one of the best books I have read all year.). What about the mysterious young girl's past? What kind of person is she? What about all of the people close to them? Can someone honest and straightforward ever succeed? I challenge you to take a guess at the ending. I dare...

Sunday, February 23, 2014. RNL #16) "Spotted Dog Running Alongside the Seashore" - Chingiz Aitmatov (Kyrgyzstan). Rating: 2.5 out of 3. Aitmatov also uses his device of continuously repeating certain lines in the book in order to make the narrative more fairy-tale like. I believe that this book is ultimately about how there is endless continuity in the world, e.g.:. The sea endlessly does battle with dry land. The book truly picked up speed and was unputdownable towards the end, when interestingly enough...
