Welcome to Litsy!

Number #24 on my Goodreads tbr was added 2 years and 2 months ago. Maybe one day 🙄😶 #twentyfour #novemberbythenumbers

Fantastic novel about the Stalinist purges, although I would find myself having to take a break from it every couple of chapters. There were so many dark and amazing reflections about what living in a country run by a paranoid man and ideologues putting their party's power over the good of the nation does to people's bodies, minds, and souls. Read if you're in the mood for more of that after your 2017 reread of 1984. #litsyatoz #catsoflitsy

Perfectly sums up the madness and paranoia of Stalin's great purge. Serge lived through these chaotic and dangerous times, with his writing perfectly illustrating the betrayal of the revolution by the Soviet leadership. An essential read for anyone who wants to understand why communism ended up being doomed to failure

Nothing like a novel about authoritarianism, propaganda, and Russian interference in other countries' political affairs to celebrate President's Day in 2017.

#LitsyPartyofOne Just add vodka, and my preparations for the rule of our new overlords are complete.
