i have a lovely reading of anna karenina once upon a time-- it was summer. i haven't had such luck with dostoievski's longer works-- notes from the underground or a gentle soul, however, did the trick. i've read 1/2 or brothers karamazov, 1/2 of crime & punishment. perhaps bad translations or just shitty, stinky paperbacks.
joyce was in paris, after quitting medical school he set up residence in the national library; once he sent a letter home that included the sentence
