katejeevas asked: Chekhov is a really great author. I'm lucky to say I've read it in original. My favourite is "Sleepy", though it's quite short. Then comes "The Cherry Orchard", "Gooseberries"...Well, I hope it helps :)
Thank you very much for pointing me in a direction. There is a lot of Chekhov out there. A part of the reason I want to learn a few languages (a work in progress) is to read works in their original language. My French is rusty—Russian and German I know only in my dreams.

Hunter S. Thompson, being Hunter S. Thompson. Author of Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas.
I’d like to read Holes again. Louis Sachar wrote to the book, and the screenplay, too.

I’m buying this today. Reading it over Spring Break. The only graphic novel to ever win a Pulitzer Prize. Recommended by a follower.
