Kris 0 #28 February 1, 2003 Dave, I read "War And Peace" three years ago to see what all the fuss was about. Great premise but that book is the exact reason that Cliff's Notes were invented. If you were to ask Cliff where his inspiration came from I bet he would answer "Russian Literature" with no hesitation.Kris Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #29 February 1, 2003 You know why Stalin inacted "The Terror" and had all the purges? He was reading a Russian novel... --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jessd 0 #30 February 1, 2003 QuoteHey, you lucky girl, your insurance will go down! *mumbling about how much insurance costs* I know. My insurance is not too bad though a little over $800/yr for full coverage. Just wish the car payment would go down too, and the student loan payments.

JJohnson 0 #34 February 1, 2003 What does it take to be in a Russian reading mood? Two bottles of Vodka and a jar of caviar? 4,000 pages of DRY Russian history??? I'd rather give myself papaercuts on my scrotum and pour lemon juice on my nuts. Even Russians don't read 4,000 pages of their own history. What are trying to do punish yourself?

AggieDave 6 #38 February 1, 2003 That's a very good point...hmmm, well, since that's not my area of study, I'm going to have to say I don't know. Now, the October Revolution, Leninism vs. Stalinism (especially NEP vs. the First Five Year Plan), that's the ticket!--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

blewaway5 0 #43 February 1, 2003 military history I can handle, actually I love it. History in general is awesome, actually. Thought about majoring in it. I don't know about the whole russian history thing, I guess if you really like it go ahead, but I'm beginning to suspect your sanity. You probably do other crazy stuff too, like jump out of airplanes. Psycho. Truman Sparks for President Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
