You've never heard of The Master and Margarita?

The Master and Margarita is a novel by Mikhail Bulgakov, woven about the premise of a visit by the Devil to the fervently atheistic Soviet Union. Many critics consider the book to be one of the greatest novels of the 20th century, as well as one of the foremost Soviet satires, directed against a suffocatingly bureaucratic social order.

Ofuck, that's one of Boots' favorite books!
"I'm guessing it was January 2007, a meeting in Bethesda, we got a bag of bees and just started smashing them on the desk," Charles Wick said. "It was very complicated."

Thanks, Cain.

I liked it, but I didn't like it as much as I thought I would.

It was pretty repetitive.  Sometimes I like that, such as in the Illiad, but in TMAM... not as much.

I only ever read the first couple of chapters.  Got sidetracked by other books.

Cheers for the link, Cain!

M & M is by far one of the most interesting, elaborate, nailing and beautiful stories ever written. TOP 5 stuff, indeed. Hope the miniseries comes even close to the original output.

My dreams when night falls silent are of you who will come after
