Another book that I read this week was Writings of a Young Doctor. It is a small volume with short stories, the longest of which is some sort of journal of a newly appointed doctor. With the message that you acquire knowledge not from books but by doing, the book contains some hardcore images and depicts the challenges doctors have to face especially when dealing with people who lack basic education. I enjoyed reading it. It's not exactly The Master and Marguerita but it has some interesting passages and I was rooting for its main character. One particular observation that resonated with me was that charlatans live a better life and are held in higher esteem than honest men. Should you happen to be a fan of Bulgakov you might give this book a try as well.
