Beer good, fabulous. Thanks! Your points about sympathizing/even cheering for the devil to prove his own existence is well made. Excellent and creative review.

54 on the pile. sigh.....

Here is my floundering and admittedly very unsophisticated attempt at a couple of these. #3: When Woland sees Margarita's compassion for Pilate, why does he tell her, "Everything will turn out right, the world is built on that"? Balance of good/evil, God/devil or maybe an insinuation about...

Hmmm... I almost always read the BOTM, Capote was the only one I've skipped since I joined. This month really was a flop on the thread though. I like a BOTM because it helps broaden my reading horizons, The Master and The Margarita was way out there for me. That being said you probably have...

I think this is the missing image

Shiver me timbers matey's! I'd no notion of all the pirates aboard our beloved ship.

I read a portion of the Pope's speech in the NYTimes today. Nothing insulting as far as I can see. For the average US citizen the pope seems like a pretty antiquated institution, really a figurehead, so it amazes me that so much attention is still paid to the Roman Catholic Church anyways. It...

Welcome! :D

I read this book in August in preparation for the September BOTM. This was really a dificult read for me. I know nothing about this time period in Russia and next to nothing of the story of Pontius Pilot. Many of the references were completely lost on me and I really had to wade through a...

congratulations!!!!

Lonesome Dove is truly a great book. All the books in that series are good but may I suggest Zeke and Ned - Larry McMurtry and Dianna Osanna(I think that's her name anyways). Not part of the Lonesome Dove series, it's another great McMurtry that kind of flies under the radar.

The Poe Shadow - Matthew Pearl Daniel - Richard Adams (pre-release order)

Hm, this and the last one could be repeated ad infinitum... Oooh let's do shall we?

(Putting this out there because I'm excited about it. This is Richard Adams latest, due to be released at the end of Ocober. I'm a fan of Adams so I'm preordering.) By what Name are we to call Thee, Master, to worship Thy divinity?" "I AM THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE." "O Master, those are...

That's it! Thanks so much!

I suspect this may be a classic and embarrasingly I don't know what it is. All I can remember was reading this in 3rd grade. It was, or at least began as, the story of a young boy, told in the first person. I remember only that his father was a poacher (pheasants I think). It definitely had...

Yes I've heard other reviewers say the same. I'm looking forward to it. Thanks!
