Brothers Karamazov Summer Readalong!
Nothing like flying by the seat of my pants, skin of my teeth, riding the ragged edge of disaster, la, la, la.
I’m reading Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov for one of my three book groups this summer, and I’d love it if you’d join me! I will even blog regularly so we can “talk” about it every week. I’m using the Pevear/Volokhonsky translation, but I bet any one would do as long as it’s divided into 13 books. Here’s the schedule. START NOW!
This Sunday, June 2, 2013: complete book 1. I’ll post to blog on Monday 6/3, and we can discuss in comments.

Let me think … umm. No. I am not even going to pretend. It is too heavy to take hiking. But I wish you all the best of luck.

Pat, you could rip a copy into thirteen sections and just take one a week!
