Hello Bee and thank you for your welcome. I am about to start reading Laurus. I heard it is a very good book (translated from Russian). I am very fond of Solzhenitsyn, as well. As for Romanian, there are not many translations. There are some poems by Eminescu, Mihai, if you're interested. Not much literature, as far as I know. I've translated a couple of books from Romanian, but they are not literary books (philosophy and history).

I actually look forward to see suggestions coming from within this group as well. Take care!

Hello! My name is Tavi. I read especially Russian literature, but I also translate books from Romanian to English. I've translated three so far; the most recent one is about deportations in Siberia.

I currently reread Crime and Punishment.
