Lisa (lisadannatt) | 105 comments Hi Lorna

I’m convinced there’s a kindle free copy- but have not checked. I own a copy of this book.

I work in health. Right now reading is keeping me sane.

How is everyone else out there doing?

Andrea (tasseled) | 189 comments I have a paperback on my shelf, so I’m good whenever you are. I’m pretty sure there is a public domain ebook available for free on Gutenberg if you’re okay with a digital copy.

Andrea (tasseled) | 189 comments That's the one I have. I've heard it is a very good translation. The censorship in the older versions definitely exists, but it does not change anything in the grand scheme of things. But a Kindle book of the Buss edition is on sale on Amazon right now for under $8.

What I don't like about Buss translation is that it's unavailable as an audiobook. I like to continue with my book while I'm unable to read a physical version, so it's inconvenient not to have it on audio.

Dianne I have this book at home if you guys do decide to go ahead with it now

Linda | 1425 comments I don't have this book at home, the library and bookstores near me are closed, and I don't do ebooks on my tiny phone. So, even though this one is on my TBR list, it's going to have to wait.

Instead I'm going to use this opportunity to start working on my physical TBR bookshelf at home.

Hopefully I can join in on the group read that comes after this, whatever that may be.

I have a copy but I am pretty unlikely to reread it.

I’ve just finished this book so I’m ready to discuss with you all 👍🏻

Joseph (jsaltal) I last read it in High School around 1981. I probably would need to get a digital copy as libraries around here are closed at least until mid May.
