Heh, I read it like that for the first time.

five pages of the Gospel according to Marx.

Да ребята, this is Kapital!

Sky, please post all the pages. One isn't enough for me.

It’s better to go to the library and look there.

He who has not read *Das Kapital* knows nothing of the world.

Morning is overwhelming with its intellectual demands :)

"1984" by Orwell. An excellent dystopia, much harsher and more uncompromising than "Fahrenheit 451" and "Brave New World," which I had read previously. I won't describe the book or retell the plot – all of this can be found online with just a few clicks. I will only say that the book is worth reading.

I read it. It's worth reading, although not entirely.

In the same book, next to "1984," there is the allegorical tale "Animal Farm" by the same author. It left a strong, positive impression. An excellent satire on totalitarianism, with memorable elements such as "building a windmill, where everyone will live well," "five eggs in six days," and "Best Friend of the Ducklings" – these are masterpieces.

"Animal Farm" I read back in school... I really like this genre! I've already written about Zamyatin and "We"...

Over the past month:

"The Chronicles of Amber" by Roger Zelazny, all ten books ("Nine Princes in Amber", "Guns of Avalon", "Sign of the Unicorn", "Hand of Oberon", "The Courts of Chaos", "The Paths of Chance", "Blood of Amber", "Sign of Chaos", "Knight of Shadows", "Prince of Chaos").

I enjoyed the first five parts, "The Corwin Cycle," the most. It has a very engaging and intricate plot about the struggle for the throne, an interesting authorial writing style, and an original universe.
In "The Merlin Cycle," the series becomes less compelling – magic, fireballs, and the confrontation of superpowers; all of this brings the series closer to the category of ordinary, albeit masterfully written, fantasy.

"Strata," "Spellcasters," "Mort," "Small Gods" by Terry Pratchett. His books are easy to read, captivating, and bring a lot of positive impressions. It's a shame that they end so quickly.

"Bring Me the Head of the Beautiful Prince" by Robert Sheckley and Roger Zelazny.

A wonderful science fiction novel, with a demon as the main character. It's full of humor and has a good plot, although the happy ending is not very convincing. I will definitely look for the other two parts of the trilogy.

I read "The Captain's Daughter" and "The Queen of Spades" by Pushkin. "The Queen of Spades" was okay, but I really enjoyed "The Captain's Daughter"!

Dina Rubina's "Petrushka Syndrome" is a light read, perfect for a stuffy bus ride.
