Good book, might have weird words you'll have to look up but I remember it being very literal. It will help a lot with parsing complex sentence structure.

It's not a good book, it's melodramatic tear-jerker.

>>9807199

Musée des Beaux Arts is absolutely amazing

He wrote in Russian. Don't even bother if you can't read it.

>>9806967
What do you mean? His works are translated. I have the one by Peter Carson. Is that a good translation?

>>9806970
No, no translation is good, - all translations are 100% reinterpretation and retelling by different people. And it's not Fathers and Sons in Russian, it's Fathers and Chiildren.

You're a medium-sized guy

Why would you feel regret knowing you are improving over time, anon? Do you know how many people stay intellectually stagnant their whole lives?

Why though? I limit myself to 2 at any time - one for day reading, one for bedside.
