Thread: как быть в курсе на популярные книг? / how to stay up on popular books?

Haha Robin! I was also thinking about reading the Akunin novels just because they sounded like books I'd enjoy. But they were too hard, so I didn't. Definitely for the best by the sound of things. The one I was going to read was about a nun who was solving mysteries in the 19th century.

That's exactly the series I am reading, Hanna. At the moment I read a series of paragraphs in Russian, then read the same bit in the German translation, and so on. I try to get the gist of it in Russian, then get the fine points from the German version.
