Sad story -- I was enjoying it but I had it on ILL, which aren't apparently renewable. So. I'll pick it up again sometime.

I'll mail you my copy, if you PM me your address. I don't have a due date.

That would be really amazing of you. If you think the book is worth mailing to someone, I'll take that as a strong recommendation of its quality.

Messaged.

I loved it. Seems like wasoxygen did not. Guess there are some divergent opinions, so you'll have to judge in retrospect whether it was worth the trouble.

I read it, and thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. The cat, especially, made me laugh my ass off quite a bit.

I loved every scene with any of the members of the retinue, their chemistry was great, and digging into who Bulgakov used as inspiration for each character yields tons of interesting connections to the book. Behemoth was definitely the funniest of the bunch, he had some great lines.

I haven't read about it yet. Toss me some links, and I be much obliged.

I finished Part 1. I decided that there is no book for which you cannot find people to say it is their favorite book.

flagamuffin was pretty far along and may have been carried through by inertia.
