About meA fear of appearances is the first sign of impotence.
--Fyodr Dostoevsky

About my libraryA collection formed from a middle school obsession with sci-fi and fantasy that has never quite faded, as well as a later-blooming love for all things Russian and classic. With a few other things thrown in.

Just comment when you can: I will welcome anything you have to say. I hope to get to C&P sometime during the summer. I have been browsing in your library, I hope I put everything back in the right place. I am very intrigued by the book about Petersburg and her writers. it looks great. Have you read Joseph Brodsky's essay on Petersburg?

Welcome to librarything!
I saw your comment on Fannyprice's Club Read 2009 thread, and wanted to introduce myself as another Dostoevsky nut. I am devoting this year to a study of Dostoevksy. You can follow my thread here:

It would be great to talk to another fan of the hairy Russian!
Best wishes,

I didn't retain much from my one Russian class, aside from an ability to laboriously sound out the Russian alphabet. But I do remember one "правда" proverb that made an impression on me:
Одно слово правды весь мир перетянет.
