Yes, Heart...Great to hear that you already have it! Yes, <i>Heart of a Dog</i> is definitely weird but it's so good. I'm glad they're appreciating it. I think the adaptation has a nice feel for the time. <br /><br />And what luck to have found that bookstore sale! I love stocking up like that. I need to put some local library book sales on the calendar. :)<br /><br />Have fun with summer reading!Lisa C.

I have a copy of the 1988 film on DVD so I think we'll go that route, but nice to see that online.<br /><br />Their reaction to it has been mixed, starting with, "That's weird." Once they got past that stage, though, they've really enjoyed it.<br /><br />Our local bookstore changed location a few years ago and before they moved they had a sale with discounts of 60-70%. I picked up several sacks of books for them to read during the summers and school years without having to spend much money. We will see where it goes!Dwighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13688525659034403580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26428110.post-61102291955332255542018-05-17T05:52:27.142-07:002018-05-17T05:52:27.142-07:00It makes me so happy to hear that your sons are en...It makes me so happy to hear that your sons are enjoying <i>Heart of a Dog</i>! I think it's my favorite Bulgakov. There's a very good adaptation that's (of course!) on YouTube, with subtitles, if you're interested. It's here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jGKkflKtCU <br /><br />Enjoy that summer reading! Lisa C. Haydenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139281544357167953noreply@blogger.com
