#OffMyShelf for short stories; anthology, or essays

I‘m really wishing I had taken a Russian literature class in college. I absolutely loved this short story collection. An incredible writer, Chekhov definitely transcends time. I can see why he‘s considered one of the greatest short story writers.

So this book is off my TBR shelf, but I‘m definitely keeping it & will revisit these stories often.

Ruthiella Nice work! I‘ve not read Chekov yet, but he‘s on my list. All the classics really, because they are the building blocks for what came after. 2mo
wanderinglynn @Ruthiella I recommend Chekhov—he‘s very readable. 2mo
Lesliereadsalot I took two Russian literature classes in college. Have never regretted reading War and Peace and The Brothers Karamazov among many others. The professor was blind and made these novels come alive. Best classes I took! 2mo
ferskner Russian lit is so daunting before you start but then so addictive! 2mo

“But people have grown better,” observed the bailiff.
“In what way?”
“Cleverer.”
“Cleverer, maybe, that‘s true, young man; but what‘s the use of that? What earthly good is cleverness to people on the brink of ruin? One can perish without cleverness. What‘s the good of cleverness to a huntsman if there is no game?”

From The Pipe. Written in 1887. Still relevant (or even more so) in 2025.

Readergrrl Heartbreakingly so. 💔 2mo

The perfect start to a Sunday morning!

Really needing a break from American Psycho as I‘m finding it a bit full on. Who knew being in the mind of a psychopath would be so draining!

Also, please take the time to check out my Insta. I‘m much better at posting there! @ misslucyirene
