Oh boy, Brothers Karamazov was so slow-going for me! I liked Crime and Punishment much better. Now, the Nan Shepard book, that looks interesting...I'm going to recommend that to a friend who will love it for sure. Thank you!

I love C&P more as a whole, but Pro and Contra and Ivan’s dream were such a highlight for me.

And yes, I recently got into nature writing.

Russian literature is such a rich vein! I've swerved to modern Japanese literature but definitely gotta move west again -- at the very least because Turgenev is calling me. But I've also been procrastinating on translating Gumilev's "A Most Sought-After Giraffe" for like two years and I should really finish it.

Thats fascinating, I intend to work in translation after I finish university. I’m not as familiar with Japanese literature, but I know the classics. Recently read Norwegian Wood and the City and its Uncertain Walls is on my tbr.
