Today

DID Include:  crying at a brutal, commentary-free documentary of the Leningrad blockade.

DID NOT Include:  exam prep.

Thoughts (apropos of nothing):  Doctor Zhivago, which I am in the first few chapters of, begins surprisingly like a YA novel.  Has this been explored?  I am so desperately interested in Russian YA lit.  Too bad I already started a thesis on Siberian national literary culture.  Post-grad?  Probably.

Tarek Sharif as age 8 Yura in the Doctor Zhivago film (which no, I have not seen.  I also did not know there was a Keira Knightley version.)
