Speaking of The Master and the Margarita, I am not quite half way through it and I'm not entirely sure why you like it (besides the kitty, of course). The dominant theme, thus far, seems to be anti-atheist schadenfreude. The horrible punishments of these corrupt Soviet officials seems all out of proportion to their petty transgressions. And it's getting awfully monotonous: Guy meets devil, denies devil's existence and get fucked. Repeat with new guy. I have finally gotten to the introduction of "The Master," so hopefully things will change. They will change, right? I've been reading a 150 page setup, right?
