To me it's an invaluable resource. Having Russian as my first language makes reading in it more immersive and somehow, I "feel" what is written more deeply, the colors are more vivid and sounds and smells are louder, even if speed of reading is the same in either language. Not sure if that makes any sense.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592963813384836290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932429135630556215.post-9487046773043273402010-10-17T15:59:58.668-04:002010-10-17T15:59:58.668-04:00Thank you for your comment, Candida!

I have not yet read the book; I should look for it.<br /><br />I sometimes feel that I don't have enough time to read as much as I'd like to, so it's always nice to hear that people think I read a lot!Lisa C.

Very often it occurs that I'm reading the same book that you're talking about and it's so interesting to see another point of view, sometimes very similar (Ulickaja, Jusefovic that I've translated in Italian, just to mention the last), sometimes different (I can't force me to love Sorokin for istance). But I still wonder: how much you manage to read!!!? Molodetz!!! By the way; Have you already read Marian Petrosjan's book? Wonderful, I think.Maria Candida Ghidinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06188965000074070199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932429135630556215.post-70971560887899381372010-10-17T11:52:36.048-04:002010-10-17T11:52:36.048-04:00Thank you, Languagehat!

I like reading English-language books on the treadmill: I'm not quite sure how this happens, but the monotony of the walking seems to slow my reading pace and force more focus than when I read in a chair.Lisa C.

I agree that "reading Russian takes more concentration and attention than reading English, making Russian reading a far more intense experience"; I was just thinking about this the other day. I don't skim in English, but I think it zips by too quickly and easily (unless I'm reading aloud, which is one reason I enjoy reading novels to my wife at night).languagehathttp://languagehat.comnoreply@blogger.com
