@AuthorGFAllen I've found so, at least in conjunction with writing more and just living more. The latter is especially important

@dsreex Utterly delightful. A romp around Soviet Moscow. Deeply witty and dramatic while obviously a critique of Soviet society and culture. I can't recommend it enough

@nic_lucc Two types of readers: a) infinite books in progress; b) fully devoted to one book at a time I admire those of group (a) for I'm thoroughly in group (b)

@DogWhoReads Ah, maybe I mix words. They come off often as cynics (Dosto, Tolstoy, Gogol esp) in the West even tho at their core the slavophiles (& co) were the strongest of romanticists

@kyzyltea This is no easy task 😅 Closest I can conjure is "The Stone Diaries" (Canadian) which my coworker described as "Stoner written by a woman." I'll have a think & get back if anything hits me
