White Nights by Fyodor something I can't pronounce

 

 

“You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you never had the courage to commit.”

[Frostina]

White Nights by Fyodor something I can't pronounce

 

 

“You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you never had the courage to commit.”

 

Dostoevsky.

Most people don't live; they just race.

[Anya]

Everybody can just be googling shit

[Frostina]

Everybody can just be googling shit

 

lol. did you do that?? i was wondering!

but.. as it happens... i do read.. quite a lot, and you picked an easy one!

[Anya]

Of course I did. You think I ever heard of this Fyodor something guy before?

 

And yeah mine was easy. I'm not a fan of too many classics...but "The Picture of Dorian Grey" was beautifully written.

[Anya]

That said..."Daddy Long Legs" by Jean Webster?

 

 

“Together, they would watch everything that was so carefully planned collapse, and they would smile at the beauty of destruction.”

 

Beautiful book.

Who keeps letting Frosty into the classics section? Really now we are doing Russian?

 

I suppose if you are doing Dostoevsky it could be worse. White Nights. At least it wasn't Crime and Punishment.

 

Peter, a little boy who would someday be King, had dozens of toys—no, if I am to tell you the truth, he had thousands of toys. He had hundreds of lead soldiers with which he fought great battles, and dozens of play horses. He had games and balls and marbles. He had stilts that made him five feet high. He had a magical spring-stick on which he could bounce, and all the drawing paper he wanted, in a time when paper was extremely hard to make and only wealthy people could afford to have it.

 

Do you have any idea how long it took me to get that thing typed and then it kept not posting and you guys are googling things. I had to go get the damn book off my shelf and flip till I found it. I knew I remembered the story but couldn't remember the friggin title.
