What Book Are You Reading? Issue.8

[Cheezy the Wiz]

I had a fun time in #fiftychat the other night explaining to Godwynn Russian patronymics and the whole nickname thing, like you said, Dmitri and Mitya, or Vladmir and Volodya, Ivan and Vanya, etc.

Hey Godwynn, I'm currently crawling through the Brothers Karamazov as well. This is after I spent a whole year just getting through Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead. The main problem i have with the Russian authors (had the same problem with Chekhov) is keeping up with the names. Just realised that Dmitri and Mitya are the same person!

The names are hellaciously confusing, but a very good book (so far.)

I cannot wait to start War and Peace.
