getting paid to go to college (aka find myself and read books) is pretty nice. go to state schools, kids, they're not all that bad!

I read the translation by Diana Burgin and Katherine Tiernan O'Connor and thought it was beautiful. It also had great notes, which would indeed be infinitely easier to read in eBook form. I have nothing to compare it to though, so I'll refrain from making any sort of value judgment.

There was also a Russian TV miniseries made in 2005 based on the books, of which I've only seen the first episode. It was really great though and the dialogue was incredibly true to the novel. The pacing was like nothing that would ever be produced in America. Worth looking up if just for the insight into modern Russian pop culture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Master_and_Margarita)

The Google Books link is not full. I would also say it's worth it to seek out a good annotated copy anyways, as the references thrown about are staggering, even for someone very well-read.

Hey now, I happen to love Dickens, haha. I do, however, understand that a lot of people really dislike his writing, and I think that he could possibly stand as a good parallel to Warhol? Maybe. He doesn't have the same "experimental/revolutionary" tendencies for which Warhol is known.

If you haven't already, you should also read Pollan's previous book The Omnivore's Dilemma. I'm about halfway through it and it's just spectacular. I had no idea about almost everything he discusses.

I love that show so much. I only discovered it after Hulu started streaming it too.

YES!
I posted pretty much the same thing a couple weeks ago.
PS - My email's been acting stupid lately so if you responded to that second one, I didn't get it. =\

Dammit, why do I still live in a Midwestern suburb? Frank O'Hara's Collected Poems is one of my favorite poetry books. Hundreds of pages of excellence..
Have fun if you go!

makes perfect sense, but even more important is that your prose is very pretty.

This is really nothing new in the realm of P4K.
The review seemed really positive to me and then I look up and see 4.0 / 2.0.
Another awesome piece of pretentious music criticism.

I think you just convinced me to vote for Obama.
I disagree with a lot of his actual platform opinions, but I've always thought he'd be a good leader. And you're right. He's what we've been missing, I think.
