I have been interested in buying this book for quite sometime, but I would like to know if any of you have read it and what your opinion is.

God bless,

Alyosha

I am sure Father Vasiliy Vasiliyevich Smith knows a lot about this book. Look up the Onion Dome Web site.

^^ I am sorry for the sarcasm. It's not that I have something against these confessors, whoever they are, but I was stunned by the grotesque nickname of the poster. Please, I implore you, change it. Russian is my "second first language" (my "first first language" is Ukrainian as I was born and raised in Ukraine, back then a part of the Soviet Union), so believe me, I know what I'm talking about. It's like someone who would be interested in American culture and would choose the nickname like, "Lil' Johnny Pisshispantsson."

Heorhij,

I changed my username and took on a new one. I am sorry if I offended you by using that particular screen name. In fact, I had no idea that it could mean something so offensive.

The name comes from a short story by Leo Tolstoy called "Alyosha the Pot."

I'm sorry and, yes, I have read the Onion Dome many times.

I am sorry, I don't recall it. I absolutely admire Tolstoy as a novelist; "War and Peace" is my most beloved book ever, I re-read it every once in a while, something like once in three years or so, and I always find something new it it (although I don't think it is as good in translation, because it is written in Tolstoy's peculiar, "irregular" Russian that translations perhaps miss); and I also love "Anna Karenina," and less than that, but still OK, "Resurrection"; but the moralistic "short stories" of Tolstoy - no, not my cup of tea, dull, impotent...

Thanks, Andrew. The books from St. Herman of Alaska Brotherhood are usually good, but I wasn't sure about this one for reason or other.
