>If you speak Russian, then yes.
He's just as good in translation:

There lived a redheaded man who had no eyes or ears.
He didn’t have hair either, so he was called a redhead arbitrarily.
He couldn’t talk because he had no mouth. He had no nose either.
He didn’t even have arms or legs.
He had no stomach, he had no back, he had no spine, and he had no innards.
He didn’t have anything.
we don’t even know who we’re talking about.
It’s better we talk no more about him.

The Iranman saga made him worth reading.

Do you think he enjoyed Kharms? Was his quest worth it in the end?

>> No.4698086

>>4698077

He did come back eventually and posted a couple times expressing his gratitute towards scanbro and designfag. He also asked for other books and I think that's where everybody bailed on him.

I made this a while back, and it seems as good a time as any to post it.

Of course not. I've read him in the original, his random "comedy" is hideous.

Christ, that brings back memories. Remember the guy that bought the book and used his scanner as a display stand, but refused to actually scan the book?
