especially
when
i
first
moved
to
seattle
so
many
old
people
that
came
into
my
work
asking
for
help
kept
asking
me
if
i
spoke
russian
and
i
fell
in
love
with
the
library
again
so
naturally
i
turned
to
reading
as
many
translations
of
russian
(
and
ukranian
and
serbian
and
georgian) novels
as
i
can
find
.
some
of
them
i
just
stumbled
upon
.
some
of
them
a
librarian
recommended
to
me
through
ask
a
librarian
program
.
some
i
stumbled
across
just
wandering
through
stacks
in
fiction
section
of
the
central
library
.
some
of
them
i
can't
remember
.
some
of
them
were
practically
a
thousand
pages
long
.
i
am
still
waiting
for
translations
to
be
finished
to
complete
the
cycle
of
the
solszhenitsyn
epic
novels
about
world
war
i
/revolution
era
to
be
finished
.
the
cycle
title
has
something
to
do
with
a
wheel
*shrugs*
i
have
immersed
myself
in
soviet
and
post
soviet
fiction
.
it
keeps
me
better
company
than
most
people
around
here
.
