All I can do is suggest that you guys talk amongst yourselves and agree to create a new thread within this forum and carry the conversation there so that newcomers will see the thread title and possibly enter the discussion. They may never click on a thread with the title: Check in here if you plan to join the discussion of "The Master and Margarita"

Then again if you like it in this cold, dark lonely thread... :lol:
Thanks Chris.

There are different ways people find discussions. This appears in the sidebar list of most recent comments, and in the location that I mostly use, "View Active Topics".

As well, if people go to the Master and Margarita forum, they will see the number of replies and views.

This thread has 1956 views and 14 replies, well above any other thread in the forum, except, inexplicably, Chapter 13, Enter the Hero, which despite only one reply has more than 2000 views. Must be those Russian spybots.

Loved that book. Seems to sag and confuse in the middle like all the Russian books I seem to read but very charming. Gogol is still my favorite.

Hey Pres, I gave my copy back to my aunty at my dad's funeral two weeks ago, and will have to put the hard word on a friend who I lent a spare copy to, as I am just getting up to the totally craziest bit, where Margarita turns into an invisible witch and wreaks bitter revenge on the corrupt literatchik who stopped The Master/Bulgakov from publishing his book about Jesus. Right in the middle, and more bounce than sag. Sorting my library, have just rediscovered a gem, Bulgakov's Manuscripts Don't Burn, buried in detrital rubble.

Hey Chris.

Sorry to hear about that Tulip. Just going off my impression from over 10 years ago regarding the book. It was a fun read, though. The mischief was a joy. I should reread.

I haven't been to this thread in a while. Sorry if I threw it off track. Sorry also to read about your father, Robert. My condolences to you and your family.

I'm very new, just joined the site, and would love to know if a discussion did take place of this book. I downloaded a copy after noticing it on the front page and will happily participate. I'm reading a fascinating book about some revolutions(Particularly the Bolshevik revolution of 1917) and the alternative spin on WWI and II.
I hope I'm not too late.

Yes, this discussion happened a few years ago. You can see the current book discussions on the HOME page or on OUR BOOKS. But you certainly welcome to add your thoughts here in this forum about the book. I do hope you join some of the current discussions. :-)
