Eugene Onegin Read-Along?

Onegin and Tatyana
With the New Year coming up and everybody looking at their reading lists for 2014, I have thought of hosting a read-along/book club for Eugene Onegin by Alexander Pushkin.  Would anyone be interested? There are ten chapters, all poetry, so a month would be just about right for reading and discussion.  Maybe January, February, or March?  If you're interested and would consider it, please let me know when would be the best time for you!

Well since I just joined a low level Russian Lit challenge, I guess i will join this too as I would like to read Eugene Onegin, but I prefer the idea of reading it in company. Count me in.

Hello,

I just found out about this read-along (and about your blog, for that matter.. through Tasseled Book Blog) and I have to say how glad I am that I did.. I very much wish to join if you'll have me..
I have read Eugene Onegin in high school and have been wanting to re-read it for couple of months now..

Best wishes,
Anna

I'd like to join the challenge! Have never read Russian literature. Have never read a poetry novel. But I'm game for it. :-)

I'd like to join, too. I've had this on my shelves for a long time, and am rather intimidated by it. :) I'd love to read it with enthusiasts.

When We Were Orphans - A Study in "Meh"

It's London in the 1930s, and Christopher Banks has what most people want: his dream job.  After a childhood of playing detective with his best friend Akira, Christopher grew up to be one of England's leading private investigators, highly sought after both professionally and socially.  In spite of his success, he can't forget the life he left behind him in Shanghai, nor the fact that his parents remain missing there and unaccounted for.  Christopher's greatest hope is to go back to Shanghai to find them, even if it means returning to a war zone.  It turns out, however, that new relationships - including his love for a lonely socialite - make committing to his past the hardest case to solve. This book could not have had a more promising premise.  I've raved about the nuances of Empire of the Sun (another story about an English boy in Shanghai), and I know Ishiguro can be incredibly subtle .  I also love a good mystery with a Sherlock Holmesian character.  Put a
