Every crazy person is crazy in his own way

You could apparently go nuts contemplating how much of Tolstoy is left on the page with each new translation that comes out, writes Masha Gessen for the New York Times.

I am waiting for your thoughts on the TOB long list, btw. :D

Does "Yikes, I haven't read ANY of these?!" count as a thought?

But I actually do have some thoughts and I will do so. I wish they'd just put out the short list sooner, but what can we do.

I wish they would put out the short list in time for Christmas wishlists, or that they would put out the long list in mid-nov to give us more time, but we are victims of the Rooster's whims. Have you really read none? I thought I was doing exceptionally bad by only reading 4.

I have read 7 -- 6 before the list came out, 1 since that I happened to have on hand. But I hesitate to tackle the list because it's just so long, and I don't have confidence of picking the right 16-18 books to make the next cut. (Although, I might as well try...)
