This this is the final discussion thread of Master and Margarita.
The next bookclub choice is Faust Part I by Goethe, the first discussion thread will be held on Sunday, August 12th. I'll make a thread tomorrow to decide the number of pages.

Just finished the book(s). In the plural - I feel like the Moscow hijinks and the Master/Margarita stuff are almost separate stories, connected only by a couple of references and Ivan (who met the Master in the sanatorium). The latter half of the book + the biblical stories were much more enjoyable than the first half for me. The commentary about the Soviet society and citizens was interesting but started to become repetitive after a while (rolled my eyes when the Behemoth and Koroyev went to the market).
One wonders how this book would look if the author had the chance to finish it without being buttblasted by the censors.
