I just downloaded it a few days ago because someone recommended it when I posted hare nochi guu
But I'm reading something else right now so I haven't gotten to it yet. I'm almost done with the book I'm reading now though

Nice bait fag, but yes it's one of Russia's greatest pieces of literature and a true classic. But you should check out the different translations before reading, I recommend first.

I read it. Was kinda boring desu. Guess I’m not a fan of russian literature, I think it’s cuz I’m not a woman. Maybe if I was a woman I’d be more of a fan

Its alright, but those russian names make me yawn
it'll have more impact if you are religious

Amusing book with charming characters and an alright critique of Soviet society, but not some kind of masterpiece. I recommend it nonetheless.

I like how people who praise Russian literature have actually got nothing in its defense.

It’s literally just genre schlock written for women so that they could pass their time. Conventional and boring.
