Peanuts by Charles Schulz for November 02, 2011

Rerun was an improvement over Linus. He had already read Anna Karenina by the time he was in kindergarten.

Substitute a name you can pronounce.

That’s what the Russians do, Grog. Alexei becomes Aloysha, Mikhail becomes Misha, etc.Took me ages to realise that all those nicknames in War and Peace referred to only about 6 people.

Linus is a genius. Not all that many adults would be able to read that novel, at least not anymore.

I hear ya, Linux. I do the same with instructions and the US tax code. (Take THAT, US tax code!)

Tiger: Wait! What’s your favorite book?Fievel Mousekewits: Mmmm… “The Brothers Karamazov.”Tiger (speaking in gasping surprise): “The Brothers Karamazov.” I can’t believe it.

[May we miss Tiger’s voice Dom DeLuise who died May 2009]

Yeah same here I just Substute the name with something im familiar with like Robert, John, Marry& Josh it just simplify everything

Awwwwww, LOL.

Linus rocks! He’s not only my favorite Peanuts character but my favorite comic character. We can all learn from a security blanket and novels written for scholarly adults.

still miss you sparky

I’m reading that book right now. It’s great, but Linus is to young for it!
