Have you read War and Peace? I think it’s a Russian thing that will drive you crazy 😂

Lol I haven’t and trust me, I’m not reading ‘anything’ Russian any time soon.. the book was interesting but I had to meditate in between reading in order to feel relaxed, whereas, at other times, reading is actually how I practice meditation, y’know what I mean 😂

It's a Russian thing, I have encountered it in several books already and it can get very confusing indeed.

Ikr!!! I think, I would’ve enjoyed reading it even more were it not for such an irritating experience..

Also, are you on Twitter, by any chance?! too bad I can’t post a meme here because we don’t have any such option but it shows exactly how I felt the entire time 😂

Korean can be even worse, at times someone may be called "So and-so's father" as opposed to their actual name; their actual name is also used, too.

I personally avoid Twitter like the plague.

Oh wow, guess I need to avoid Korean literature as well.. thanks for the heads up lol

I hear you!! Cheers 😊

AJ, when I read the Russians I keep a pad of paper and pen nearby and list all the names of each character. That's the only way I can keep it straight.
Good luck.

Thanks so much, Lisa!! That’s exactly what one of my friends suggested earlier and it really helped a lot x
