Participle question

I'm in my fourth year and still trying to understand how participles work...

Is it possible to have participles strung together in a sentence? For example, could one say:
"Проходя мимо кафе я замечаю то, что книгу читаемую мальчиком сидящий в углу, одна из моих любимых", which uses both active and passive participles? Would a sentence like that make sense?

Oh come on. This thing, Golub-Telenkova, on your picture -- it's not even a university textbook (университетский учебник) -- it is a DISTANCE EDUCATION HANDBOOK! (учебное пособие для студентов заочного обучения). Condensed crap :)

What I quote is the university textbook (http://www.hi-edu.ru/e-books/xbook107/01/about.htm) - Valgina, Rosenthal, Fomina: Современный русский язык --- which is Nina Valgina's 2000s edition of Rosenthal's classic 1980s textbook.

Your textbook even have no recommendation as manual and it printed not by Высшая школа, nor by Русский Язык publishing house :)

Nonsense. Up to the 5th edition, Valgina-Rosenthal textbook WAS in Высшая школа. What's scanned by that online library I gave links to, was the 2002 reprint by Логос which inherited the former Университетская книга brand. FYI, Логос has full accreditation and not only "approved," but downright "recommended" label from the Ministry of Education for New University Library and 21th Century Textbooks series. Know what I mean?

Every recommended book must have appropriate notice on it, whatever accreditation the publishing house have.
