Everybody chilling out back in the crib after the ball is one of the comfiest things I've ever read.

How's this translation compared to the others?

All thought is naught but a footnote to Plato.

Just embrace it. I have to blast through a book because of my fucked up internet ADHD mind or I'll never finish it. I have a tendency to get bogged in the mud otherwise. If something is really confusing I'll look into it and read some reviews afterwards. It's amazing the amount of stuff you miss out on a first read but if I bog myself down I'll never read it in the first place.

What did you make of this one guys?

I just finished this and am kind of confused. Maybe it's just too late and I'm tired or I've never read Faust or the Bible, but I have some questions.

(Spoilers)
First off, was the Master supposed to be a parallel to Jesus?
I only ask this because all the stuff with Pilate (especially at the end) seem like some kind of forgiveness for crucifying Jesus
and I keep reading how cowardice is a theme in the novel, and it seems to me that that's why The Master and Margarita get special treatment from both sides of good and evil (because they lack cowardice due to the strength of their love for each other, or something like that), meanwhile, every other character in the novel is cowardly in some way.
I don't what to feel after reading it, it was a wild ride and well written but I don't know what to take away from it, thematically I guess.

"Put it in H!"
