Great books, shitty covers.

Pic related, absolutely one of the worst covers I have ever seen. Literally defines "edgy". Shame since Modern Library had an excellent "Dubliners" cover.

I got it for 15¢ so I guess I'm not so angry.

I want to write a short story collection that takes place in the American midwest and call it "Dumbliners".

I want to write a short story collection that takes place in Czhechoslovakia and call it ''Doublin' Czheckers''.

1. It's not Czechoslovakia anymore and hasn't been since 1992.

2. Czechs don't call themselves Czechs.

Good luck on this and all of your endeavours.

The book would be set in the past. As to the rest, please get help for your autism.

Also, Lermontov is pretty shitty imo.

Yeah it seems like one of the lesser known ones. I wonder how many people have actually bought it aside from me.
