>>>Hi Dmitry,
>>>
>>>I also found Shakespeare hard to read in English and I also loved translations by Marshak when I grew up. I knew many of his sonnets (translated) by memory at some point (about 25 or more years ago, so don't remember now)...
>>>
>>>I think I was able to read (in English) 'Much ado about nothing' but that was probably all...
>>>
>>>BTW, speaking of books - I found that Wilkie Collins' is really very interesting author and very good English. I read a few of his books which are not translated into Russian and loved them.

>>Thank you for recommending this author. I found his page on Amazon.com and will download some of his book(s).

>You most likely read when you were young the 'Women in White' or 'The Moonstone' (these 2 were translated into Russian).
I don't remember what I had for breakfast yesterday :) Funny thing I often time start reading a book and on page 20 realize that I already read it. The other weird thing is that I can read a book and then - 3 weeks later - not remember what it is all about. So sad :(
