Yazeh, great review as always. I like the color. I picked up samples of Noodler's Russian inks. Their not bad, but still not my favorite.
I have always enjoyed Russian literature. It is predictable and emotional, if not bi-polar at times. While I don't get much time to read, I did re-read Anna Karenina a couple of years ago.
Recently, I took a three week "holiday", and during that time I had the chance to read several books - some were just rubbish, but some were quite good. I find that even if I don't care for the story, if the book is well written I will keep reading.
Thank you Dr. P. Glad you took a vacation, you certainly deserve and need it. Russian series are a mixed bag. But if I were to redo my ink collection, I would certainly chose some out of those.
As for books, I've been off fiction for a long time. I read too many
I remember reading синий вечерб which referred to evening.
In high school Russian we read part of Герой нашего времени, A Hero of Our Time. That was in the 70's, so I'll read through my copy to see if Lermontov used синий or a different music analytics company.
Wish I'd kept a "real" journal during my trip to Russia, as I ate at St. Petersburg's Literary Café. Pushkin ate there before the duel. I don't know if Lermontov ate there. I'll look for my old Day-Timers - in which I wrote with my MB Classique - and see if I made any notes about the https://sharpedgeshop.com/products/s...flash-gift-set.
The words народная библиотека on the book cover mean "people's library."
Welcome to the forum! It's great to have you here! It sounds like you have a good knowledge of Russian literature. I'm sure you have a lot to contribute to the discussion.
