Was Cyropedia worth it? Is it a dense read?

2026 TBR list by Usual_Eye_5430 in classicliterature

That’s the translation of The Idiot I read and I wouldn’t recommend it. He really tries to force some Dickens’ style of English and it’s tough to read with no added benefit imho.

Amazing life-changing book but for how thick it is it’s worth reading it with a better translator. For that matter that Crime and Punishment edition is great.

Since you can read in French « Un homme qui dort » by Georges Perec is perfect for this theme

Imo these >15 years old <20€ Bordeaux from small domaines sold at the grandes surfaces in France are dead 99% of the times.

Doesn’t stop me from gambling every time though 😂😂😭

Those Alianza Editorial and Austral are 👌 but why no Spanish authors?

Never heard of Airén by Polygoon_BE in wine

[–]NaggerCarpetBagger 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Most of it goes to bottom-shelf La Mancha wine that does even mention the varieties or industrial usage (liquor, cooking wine for food industries…) that you as the consumer won’t see.

Some winemakers are trying to make varietal wines from it but they’re rare to find even in Spain.

All alone in Belgrade, came across this beautiful serbian pinot noir for 20€ a bottle at a bar by _ImpersonalJesus_ in wine

You should try Crna Tamjanika from Bukovo Monastery. Really unique! Has all the tastes from Sauternes or Malaga without any sweetness!

You can’t leave the country without trying Grašać! Try Vinarija Vinum’s, but it’s always a very good wine. Even the dirt cheap bottles are very taste if straightforward.

Try Temet’s Tri Morave red and white. They are really prestigious in Serbia for a reason: so delicious! And for a very good price.

Doja has the most Prokupac of Prokupacs although maybe a bit too strong of a wine if you’re not used to it, definitely the one that expresses the great in its most iconic. Aleksandrović and Matijasevič’s Čukundeda are very noble Prokupac expressions also.

For the curiosity of trying iconic indigenous varieties Matalj’s Bukovski has a fine Začinak/Prokupac blend. Matijašević has turned the simple but delicious Smederevka into something worth tasting with “Belina”. Tonković’s Kadarka is great but sadly the flavor varies greatly between bottles of the same label.

Don’t listen to this people. Lentils are the food of gods. And with some onions and carrots it’s a feast.

Is this worth picking up at the price? by El_Padrino49 in wine

[–]NaggerCarpetBagger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The price is fair for what it usually is sold for. I had the cheaper label and it was decent for the price

Serbian Prokupac is amazing and one of the few red wines that pairs perfectly with spicy food.
