    Don't worry, Scher. Russia isn't all bad.
    For example, Bulgakov is a Russian.

    True (I mean it is true that that is your opinion).

    Thanks for giving me some hope, Tal. You should post more often!

    I feel that Russia has been over done again and again... and again... and some more. What's more, despite the initial enthusiam, rarely people actually read/take part in the discussions.

    No, India would not include Anglo-Indians but UK would include them!

    Leading countries today:

    Russia 15

    Greece 13

    India 13

    Ireland 12

    Germany 11

    France 9

    Italy 9

    Japan 9

    UK 9

    USA 9

    China 8

    Egypt 8

    Sweden 8

    China, Egypt and Sweden will have to battle it out for the last two places as things stand at the moment.

    Yes, do post! We miss the chattering of several crows at the same time.

    Yeah, Scher, that's a trouble. We plan to take part in discussions but then something by chance happens (like the book being not available or even getting busy in something else or the authors selected not being whose works we would like to read) which prevents us from taking part in most of the discussions. But I promise if Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment gets selected, I would love to take part in the discussion. But (oops can't help putting in a but) if I can manage getting into it and (yes, and as well) if my computer remained working and (oh there are so many of these) if I remained healthy by that time. Or let's sum it all upto if nothing out of ordinary happen at that time.

    Hey, don't forget Croatia!
    At thunder and tempest, At the world's coldheartedness,
    During times of heavy loss And when you're sad
    The greatest art on earth Is to seem uncomplicatedly gay.

    To get things clear, they have to firstly be very unclear. But if you get them too quickly, you probably got them wrong.

    Fourteen countries in double digits. Wow, two of those won't make it. Amazing how Russia continues to lead.
