According to the classic (humorous) definition, Russian literature is about two people who do not want each other and do not get each other, and about this a melancholy 1500 pages is written. That was more true before the soviet union though. A lot of literary people don’t view what came out of Soviet Russia (the stuff that was allowed, that is) as literature. ---

I used to think that I should read War and Peace since it was a classic. An awful lot of the classics actually just suck, it’s that they give a message people want spread that makes them a classic. There are so many other actually good books I **should** read that I doubt I’ll ever get to it. And that doesn’t make me sad. ---

You don’t want the VPN. It’s hard to get rid of, although I hear there’s a cream for that now. ---

I finally read _From the Earth to the Moon_ (Jules Verne) a couple years ago and…yeah. Underwhelmed. I picked up _Journey to the Center of the Earth_ afterwards and slogged through maybe half of it. I had read an abridged version years ago and the full one is rough. ---

Some of the Verne stuff the ideas were so new you had to spend more time explaining it than telling it. ---

She still shouldn’t be doing it at work. Use the broom closet like everybody else. ---

If not, then you are sensible. I’ve never managed to get more than a quarter of the way through it, and that was a huge struggle. Five pages is normally my limit. ---

I’ve read Moby Dick. There was one section of about twenty pages or more describing the butchering of a whale… I enjoyed several Jules Verne books, but then, I read those when I was around the 12-15 age range. I was a lot less picky about my reading then, since I was going through a novel a day. ---

It wasn’t easy. I think that book took me almost an entire week to read. You can tell how much I enjoy a book by how long it takes me to read. For example, the entire Lord of the Rings Trilogy took me about five days the first time I read it. ---
