Your mission, should you choose to accept it:
1. Get a copy of Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak--which, besides being on the list of 100 Books to Read Before College, is our assigned novel for the year.
Personally, I'm going to check mine out from the public library. In fact, in a couple of days, the Taylor Ranch library should have a handful of copies ready to check out (because I asked for them on our behalf). If you prefer, you are absolutely welcome to purchase a copy of your own (Amazon has used copies for super cheap, as does, I'm sure, many local used bookstores). It's your call how you acquire Doctor Zhivago (well, I mean, don't steal it, obviously), as long as you acquire it.
***The translation/version you choose doesn't matter.***
2. Post a picture of yourself holding the book. Seriously. Plus, the more "Russian" you look in your picture, the better. (Just kidding about that last part. Kind of.)
3. That's it. If you want to start reading it right away, go for it. However, we will wait until after finals (a.k.a. summer) before we start having serious discussions about the novel.
