Jen You're plugging away! :) What do you think so far? The book pictured is the same edition that I own... and I need to read it at some point.


Tasha It's actually surprisingly readable and good! I'm not sure if it's because of this translation but it's going along smoothly!

Jen That's encouraging! This makes me wonder if I should look for the same translation of Anna Karenina... I'm going to start reading Anna soon, and I'm torn between the B&N classics edition that I have, or springing for the edition by these translators... Decisions!


Tasha I read their translations for both Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy and Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky and felt they were both really well done. Of course, I can't compare to any other editions because these are the ones I read, but I can definitely recommend them.

The ebook versions of them are cheaper. I have both the real book and the ebook of W&P and the Kindle edition cost 12.99 i'm pretty sure. Not too bad, really.


Tasha Although, I am sure that the B&N edition is well done too. I just read their edition of The Moonstone and I thought it was very good.

hahaha...guess I'm not helping you with the decision making... ;)

Jen Well actually, you are. Since I already own the B&N one, I should be good and read it. :)


Tasha lol...glad to help. Now you just have to get started. :)

Jen Yep, as soon as I'm done with the third Game of Thrones book! I'm looking forward to Anna!


Tasha have fun! I'm planning on reading book 5 this year of the GOT series. Book 3 was fantastic!

Jen Nice! I'm doing #3 this year, and probably also 4 and 5, but I'll might try to hold back and wait on 5 until next year... Heh, yeah right. :)


Tasha I know, there is no rush since i think Book 6 isn't due out for awhile? I think I've probably have been getting to them about once a year too.

Jen I know, that's the problem! It's hard to hold back and not get caught up in the series... but I hate having such long periods away from the action. Grr.
