Public post in the reader discussion for Oblomov.
Just picked up Oblomov by Goncharov, any admirers of this one?

I guess it’s worth trying to read at least once. :) I know the best-read person I’ve ever met really loves this book—she’s read basically everything. I don’t really get her taste on this one, but it’s still kind of interesting. I keep wondering if she just liked it because it has that whole cultured-idle vibe, like some kind of patron saint thing for people who do nothing.
