I first read Anna Karenina in my youth, and at that time, it didn’t make a significant impact on me. However, rereading it now, I’ve come to appreciate the immense scale of Tolstoy's prose, the depth of his ideas, and the way he mirrors and reflects ...more
#PortoMyLove by Dmitry Berkut
"Эта книга не такая, как другие книги Дмитрия Беркута - хотя, собственно, у него все книги разные.
Можно назвать её чем-то вроде путевых заметок или кусочка автобиографии, но это будет полуправда.
Она простая, но не примитивная, позитивная, но не пустая" Read more of this review »

Соня, уйди! Софья Толстая by Pavel Basinsky
""Sonya, go away" is not a biography of Sofia Andreevna Tolstoy, rather a lively conversation about what a woman was like, without whom we would not have such a great writer as we know him now. "Anna Karenina" would have lost the incredibly charming s" Read more of this review »

Suttree by Cormac McCarthy
"I am helpless to talk about this book. There were a lot of words that I did not understand. Suttree, from Cormac, is a book that deserves, much like some of Malick's films. The pen of the Big Mac is like a brush taking its time on the canvas, where a" Read more of this review »

Quotes by Dmitry Berkut  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Our homeland in the language we spoke, thought, and wrote in, not the place where we were born. We live in the space of our language, and to expand it, it's not enough to just leave; we need to start thinking in other languages.”
Dmitry Berkut, Clochard

“We are all connected by the finest of threads. We create worlds for each other through our existence. When someone close to you dies, it immediately affects everything around you; and everyone’s lives, whether they feel it or not, are changed forever.”
Dmitry Berkut, Clochard

“Long ago, we had both realized that the only constructive conversation possible between us was sex. Neither of us could hear normal words. We each spoke our minds and listened only to ourselves. Only during sex did we share sensations and truly be present together. How long could that last? Probably forever. Would we have been happy for eternity? Why not? Sex wasn’t about interests or cultural differences; it was self-sufficient.”
Dmitry Berkut, Clochard

“You never know what worse luck your bad luck has saved you from.”
Cormac McCarthy, No Country for Old Men

“Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens a certain number of times, and a very small number, really...How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.”
Paul Bowles, The Sheltering Sky

“One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.”
Henry Miller

“My message to you is this: pretend that you have free will. It's essential that you behave as if your decisions matter, even though you know they don't. The reality isn't important: what's important is your belief, and believing the lie is the only way to avoid a waking coma. Civilization now depends on self-deception. Perhaps it always has.”
Ted Chiang, Stories of Your Life and Others

“I wasn’t meant for reality, but life came and found me.”
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
