(part 2)side note:if you see me write in Chinese all of a sudden,I’m doing that because I’m running out of characters. 中文是一種高效率的語言 You might’ve seen me write in Chinese in an update of Lewis’ “Four Loves.”
I don’t think I’ve properly read Panteleimon Romanov’s satire or any of his works.I’m not sure if he’s known by Russians. But his stories are good e.g“Inefficiency”!

A friend gave me this book, and I’ve held onto it for a while. I’m so lucky that he’s not mad at me about it at all. I promise I’ll return it!
Reading some Romanov and Katayev. Some familiar stories. It’s a nice walk down in memory lane of being in Russian literature classes. I chuckled a bit reading The Cows, and The Beautiful Trousers（重讀了）. 閒暇時間讀這些蘇聯故事真是太有趣了！
