Currently reading THE MASTER AND MARGARITA by Mikhail Bulgakov in the translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky ... in a really nifty "Penguin Red Classic" edition from the UK that I bought here in Toronto (www.penguinbooks.co.uk/reds). Had previously read a much earlier translation (late 1960s) -- not the one by Mirra Ginsburg but one by someone else whose name escapes me (currently available in a Plume/Meridian edition in US). One of the best novels of all time, and sheer joy in this translation. I hope it never ends ...
