Siobhan from @thehalcyondaysofsummer here again. The people have spoken; Classics it is! And what better collection to kick it off than the Russian Classic collection by Vintage. This beautiful set, designed by @suzanneldean from textiles from the collection of Susan Meller, includes some true masterpieces. Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Pasternak, Bulgakov and Grossman all make an appearance. The amount of pages included in these 6 books comes to 4516 pages so buckle up, you’re in for a lengthy read. No one can say Vintage don’t give you value for money! Have you read any of these? #russianclassics #halcyontakeover

March 16: I think I’ve put myself into another reading drought with At Swim Two Boys, so everyone just tell me what movies you’re most looking forward to the rest of this year. I’m ecstatic about Downton Abbey, and really looking forward The Aftermath and The Report. I’m hesitant about The Goldfinch but trying to keep an open mind. I know I’m the only person on the planet who doesn’t care about Episode IX...

"Above all, don't lie to yourself.” || Project 52 Week 12: Fyodor Dostoevsky. This passage is so awesome, we included the entire excerpt in our design to provide context for Dostoevsky's stunning insight into personal responsibility. A face comprised of text has been partially redacted, creating a self-inflicted blindfold. Here’s the full passage: "Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to such a pass that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love, and in order to occupy and distract himself without love he gives way to passions and coarse pleasures, and sinks to bestiality in his vices, all from continual lying to other men and to himself. The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than any one. You know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offense, isn't it? A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill—he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it, and so pass to genuine vindictiveness. But get up, sit down, I beg you. All this, too, is deceitful posturing…”

Finally! After a year long wait, I have completed The Vintage Russian series by @vintagebooks I have read only two books out of the set and I'm thoroughly content with my achievement so far. I'm planning to read the ginormous War and Peace in July and this way I'll finish the big books from the set! . .

May 08: QotD: Which country has your favorite literary canon? I thought mine would be British in middle school, but at fifteen I worked in a library for community service, and stumbled into Russian literature and never looked back. French came in university, and is probably tied with American for second.

Remembering that time when I decided to read War & Peace and it took me over 4 months to complete vs Anna Karenina which I read in a few days with @drummingonthecover . I still think of Pierre & Prince Andrei though
