No! Of course I’ve enjoyed/enjoying Russian classics: I’ve come as far as 4–5 books Tolstoi’s War/Peace, am at the end of a volume containing 4 if Chekov’s plays — in the third act of The Cherry Orchard, and the last one’s Uncle Vanya, I’ve read a lot of his, the former’s, and others’ shorts as well; not to forget some pages from Fathers ans Sons, not Lolita: that one is disgusting, really and not even worth called a classic if you ask me. So yeah,that’s how it is. Obviously I read these all from translations….just as I havent read other languages’ classic in the native tone: that would KILL me sis, you know i havent mastered them, except a bit near to it in urdu (cause my mother tongue, and Sanskrit,cause I studied it for 4 high school years, reading AbhigyanShakuntalam and more in the language. And yeah italian, cause i have this volume of Inferno and Paradiso with the native language on one side of the page and english in the other, so that makes it easy to grasp the Italian, and that too Mandelbaum’s translation); I try/ am trying to learn… one more wont do no harm, but i think i am at my limits… i must take sime time before adding some more, and maybe I would try to expertise the exisiting first better…. Oh, yeah I asked u a question on fb; dont know if u saw it, so I’ll ask here again, and you might be knowing because you master these subject of academia: is Sanskrit older or Greek? I mean i know both are the world’s ancientest languages, and both have a lot of similarity, I know that [for instance that word, I know mostly from the myths: meti(s), meaning head in Greek means the same in Sanskrit (matha) and there are lots of word.. Like, like Video and Vedas, et cetra.]
