nice to see ya around nik. I envy you for the snow. We here fancies how it feels to be there. I still can't get over my thesis..
OH sorry I replied but on my page. Everything is going well with me, thank you!
Hello nick! Nope, how I wish we could have experienced winter here. It's one of the western weather that I really am fancying at this moment. It's been a tropical weather all over Philippines though last month we had a quite "cool" weather. No snows! How was your holidays?
Hey Eyemaker, How are you, are you having a good winter so far?
Ah, so it's very important! -- why were you dizzy? That sounds like a really fascinating topic if you end up choosing it. I havent gotten to Turgenev in reading yet, although I'm glad to be reminded of his name, because I've wanted to read him for a while and lately I've been lacking in books to read. Of Tolstoy, I've only read Anna Karenina actually, which I loved. I read in the introduction, I believe, that Tolstoy's contemporaries called it just a romance, did not think it was a good novel, while Dostoevsky hailed it as "flawless as a work of art." I've read most of Dostoevsky's works but not all of them. I still haven't read The Idiot or Demons(I think? Devils?). Do you know of the famous quote of Nietzsche: "Dostoevsky is the only psychologist from whom I have anything to learn."? I love Dosteovsky as a psychologist. Have you read Notes from the Underground or The Gambler? I loved all I read I mentioned, I really enjoyed it. I do not have a great history of writing essays, but I'd be more than willing to listen to ideas and tell you what I think.
Oh sorry about that. I'm quite dizzy perhaps when I typed those. Basically my thesis is for the completion of my final grade and a requirement for us to graduate. So we are given time to think and start a proposal that'll be submitted soon. I am now in the "search" for a "good" topic to research on. I'm curios and quite am fancying the Literatures of Russians. But I still have not yet decided on what particular subject to focus on. I am thinking of the Psychological approach in Dostoevsky, Tolstoy and Turgenev's works though I want to have a lot of possible choices before considering a good topic. I guess you have a lot of ideas to share Nik!
But I'm more than happy to help if I can.
I'm sorry. I should have explained. In the sentences, "I'm thinking I will focus on Russian Lit in my thesis. It's not yet started coz until not I'm thinking of a nice topic," there are some errors in the second sentence, and I can't understand your meaning. What is your thesis for?
I don't understand.
Uhmm, I'm thinking I will focus on Russian Lit in my thesis. It's not yet started coz until not I'm thinking of a nice topic..I'm thinking of biographical approach on Dostoevsky's work though I don't know If that'll do thanks
