Dostoevsky - Brothers Karamazov is probably my favorite novel ever.
I read a lot of the russian classics since I can read in russian.

I'm a big fan of the ASOIAF series as well, I like low fantasy and I think it's as good as it gets.

"Death of Ivan Ilyich" hit me pretty hard.

 

[SuikodenII]

Autobiography of Malcolm X

Yo, I just can't read novels. I've got two degrees and am in IT and got As in calculus and math. But, I can't deal with reading novels. I can read the magazines like Newsweek, Car & Driver, People, US News & World Report, ESPN, The Show, Sports Illustrated, Us Weekly, etc. Maybe I have ADD. I don't know.

YES, they do. I came in to say the brothers k, arguably the greatest book ever. Also, Notes From Underground is really great by him. But you are right they have it on lock back to Pushkin and further, also...Fathers and Sons...Gorky(Mother)...and Nabokov is on the opposite spectrum of lit but my other favorite author. The only Tolstoy I read was a collection of stuff he did before he died which was okay...but by then he was religious and I feel I wasn't getting the Tolstoy I wanted.


I also like Murakami, and some other stuff i'm reading now like wuthering heights and at the lighthouse more aesthetic stuff but i stick with russian lit really.

Yep, our writers are great

I would certainly suggest Karenina and War and Peace for Tolstoy. Long reads, especially War and Peace but worth the time. Really amazing epics.

I've been meaning to read karenina but I'm trying to stray from russian lit a little but crime and punishment is the only doesty thing i haven't read besides letters and shyt so i'ma get to that then Tolstoy.

 

[Last Dayze]

the present/future is like a mix of 1984 and a brave new world

some conspiracy theorists theorized that both Orwell and Huxley had ties to secret societies..

take it with a grain of salt but tis still interesting to at least consider..
