I'm about a third of the way thru Bros. Karamazov - I just want to bop that father on the head! (and give Alyosha a kiss!) I must admit I took a peek at the end ...
Sir Gawain & the Green Knight was interesting, but rather hard to read - just read it a coupla months ago.

The sound is prob. a cross between the "J" and the "Y" sound - I think the Russian pronounciation is kind of a mix of the two, almost like how the Spanish "Y" has some "J" in it. My sister-in-law and her hubby lived in Russia for a year, and they say the Russians have so many nicknames, it's incredible - and some of the nicknames are longer than the original names!

Yep, all those nicks are rather confusing to begin with!
You've probably not met Iljusha yet, he'll be introduced later in the book. I'd like to bop Mitja's head rather than Fjodor's.

But I won't actually do it, because I feel so sorry for him too. Though, if it could calm him down just a little ...
Awww.

"my little girl" .....I had a dear friend who called her child this and while my spelling may be off the sentiment is sincere.

I'm actually reading Silmarillion too. I think it's great, but very complicated. There're just so many names, and everyone has like 4 names. But that's what makes J.R.R. the best, isn't it?

I'm reading a book called Sacajawea, by Anna Lee Waldo, it's not Sci-fi or fantacy, but it's still really good/sad/grose. I just started it today, so I'm only on chapter 2.
I'm also reading Cold Mountain by Charles Fraczier, I hate it so much!
