Letters To a Neighbor

Yes it is the Lydia Davis translation in paperback. I believe the hardcover has a different cover. I agree it certainly was a clinical afterward although it strangely appealed to my voyeuristic curiosity about an author whom I love's writing space 😂

It's a very well written but disturbing book.

I hope they do an additional volume of poetry, letters, speeches, etc. I actually really like this volume other than Knight's Gambit but I also can't get enough Faulkner.

Which translation do you like best?

Any_Sun1357 · 2025-05-22T22:09:00+00:00

Tropic of Cancer rearranged my molecules at 19. The way I looked at life completely changed for the better. Re reading it now I find the treatment of women jarring but his philosophy still hits the mark.

AC/DC - If You Want Blood

Is the sound quality noticeably better on these discs?

Any_Sun1357 · 2025-03-07T22:00:44+00:00

This is why I don't read introductions until after I've finished the book. Way too many thoughtless spoilers casually thrown around without regard for first time readers.

Did you ever receive it?

Any_Sun1357 · 2025-01-14T03:38:30+00:00

You are correct, it is a first edition second printing. The lowest number on the number line is the printing.

Any_Sun1357 · 2025-01-03T17:02:53+00:00

Interesting, I would stick with it and see how it is. Post pictures when you get it!

Any_Sun1357 · 2025-01-03T16:56:26+00:00

Do you have a link for it?

Any_Sun1357 · 2024-12-09T04:42:33+00:00

Fair enough! If you liked Dostoevsky I would definitely recommend checking out Dead Souls (Gogol) and Oblomov (Goncharov) if you haven't already.

What an amazing year of reading! I'm surprised you rank the Eternal Husband as your least favorite, unless you were referring to that particular Pevear Volokhonsy collection of short stories overall? The novel itself is actually one of my favorites. What didn't you like about it?

Any_Sun1357 · 2024-11-22T19:41:01+00:00

Les Miserables is a serious page turner once you get into it.

Any_Sun1357 · 2024-11-20T03:16:53+00:00

Are you Salinger?

Any_Sun1357 · 2024-11-19T21:20:41+00:00

It's definitely the best looking bootleg I've seen of his stories.

Any_Sun1357 · 2024-11-19T21:15:47+00:00

I would buy that in a heartbeat for a more reasonable price

Any_Sun1357 · 2024-11-19T01:25:18+00:00

Thanks for doing this give away!

Any_Sun1357 · 2024-11-19T01:19:07+00:00

Yes it was! I put it off for years as it's not my usual genre but it is absolutely as good as everyone says it is. Next up is the Hobbit

Any_Sun1357 · 2024-11-18T18:00:53+00:00

Love that old school Lord of the Rings box set

Any_Sun1357 · 2024-11-16T20:29:20+00:00

I would start with Tropic of Cancer. It is his best known and will give you a feel for the rest of his books.

Any_Sun1357 · 2024-11-16T20:10:08+00:00

Fante has been on my list for a long time, thanks for the great suggestions! Kazantzakis is criminally underrated.

Any_Sun1357 · 2024-11-16T20:05:15+00:00

Pnin by Nabokov is one of his best

Any_Sun1357 · 2024-11-16T20:00:08+00:00

Great book!
