I read M+M in college. Later I had a Russian girlfriend and found that I didn't have a clue what it was about. Understanding Animal Farm is pretty easy because we get the references. But understanding M+M without a Russian history background is impossible. Still, even without that background, it's a fun read.
- smsm42 9y agoDon't feel too bad though about not fully understanding it - M+M is one of my favorite books, and I've re-read it may times, and have read tons of comments, and still I recently found a lecture course on it that showed me I haven't properly understood several important aspects of it. That's how it goes with great literature - it works on many levels.
