    Oh god, what have I gotten into?

    Also, just realized that this thread is about 7 years old. It is older than a ton of memes. Wow.

    Teffi's Tolstoy, Rasputin, Others and Me, published by New York Review Books.

    It's one of only two books that have been translated from Russian into English. The book is a collection of stories centred around the life of Teffi in Russia, and her encounter with a range of notable Russian leaders both in the political and literary/cultural sphere. I really enjoyed reading it as it not only provided a neat insight into the author's life, but also how the political events in Russia during her lifetime shaped her life, and career.

    Thousand Cranes by Yasunari Kawabata. A nice read, but I don't feel like it's as good as the other Kawabata I've read.

    It's my favorite book and I like to reread it a few times before taking another book.

    Just finished two books. One is actually about being trans and discovering yourself.

    That one was 'The Art of Being Normal' by Lisa Williamson, Very good book, moved me very much.

    Also, I just finished 'All the Bright Places' by Jenifer Niven. This book ruined me. So so so good.

    The last book I read was His Majesty's Dragon. That was the third time I read it, it's one of my favorite book series.

    Today I finished reading 'The Kreutzer Sonata' by Tolstoy, first time. Even before going into it, I was ambivalent, knowing it's infamously questionable attitudes toward human sexuality.

    It's strangely fascinating, because in spite of the subject, he remains a gripping and engaging author. To the point where I honestly don't know whether we're supposed to agree with or feel sympathy for the protagonist. Also quite amazing how explicitly he discourses on the subject of sexual attraction and activity, at least relative to nineteenth century literature...
