Status Updates From النفوس الميتة

Ja se ponadah da Gogy i ja zavrsavamo zanavek druzenje danas, ali ipak ce me muciti i sutra. Epizoda sa balom me je malo razmrdala, inace beskrajno dosadan roman, nema niceg smesnog i zabavnog u Gogijevoj veseloj "djavolijadi" likova, a i da ima svakako nisam od onih koji bi humor i ironiju umeli da cene, ni u knjizevnosti ni u zivotu.
