pickBulgakows Erzählungen sind gespickt von Witz und Menschenkenntnis. Ich bin kein großer Fan von Kurzgeschichten, deshalb mochte ich wohl die längeren Novellen "Die verhängnisvollen Eier" und "Hundeherz" am meisten. Das Surreale, das Bulgakows Geschichten eigen ist, liebe ich besonders.
Ich liebe Bulgakows Meister und Margarita, bin gespannt auf diese Kurzgeschichten von ihm.
bailedOnly listened to an hour and a half but I couldn't get into it. In general, I like the idea of a famous author with an interesting life as a main character in fiction, as long as the overlap with their work isn't too simple- I was worried about that with a love story with Margarita against the backdrop of oppression. Left it too early to judge though.
pick🎉My favorite book of 2017🎉
Timely in its subthemes of authoritarian regimes, censorship, and the power of satire and the arts, this is a wonderfully written novel. While much Stalin-era literature speaks to the triumph of the human spirit, Himes's book seems to speak more to the inescapability and perpetual cycles authoritarianism.

When you are like, "Dang, I forgot a hair tie for my trip," and then you open your book and see that a few weeks ago you used a hair tie as a bookmark! #whatluck #bookmark #neverleavehomewithoutyourbook
Books about writers fascinate me, and Master and Margarita is one of my all-time favorites, so I knew I had to read this.
I'm enjoying outdoor reading weather while I still can. I can't believe it is almost fall, which basically means #winteriscoming. ☀️📚☀️
Yep, this sounds about right: "Bookcases stood on both sides of the chair. These were filled and double-layered, with yet more books in varying stacks on the floor in front, as if waiting in queue." (page 78) ???
