March 10, 200818 yr The Karamazov Brothers by Fyodor Dostoevski that one's coming up on my to read list. I read "Crime And Punishment" and "Notes From Thee Underground" back in high school, but never cracked "Karamazov".
March 10, 200818 yr that one's coming up on my to read list. I read "Crime And Punishment" and "Notes From Thee Underground" back in high school, but never cracked "Karamazov". It's really beautifully written. Different style than I'm used to. Supposed to be his best work. Unfortunately I don't have much spare time so the reading is not really going fast.
March 10, 200818 yr i read Karamazov, Notes From The Underground, and Crime and Punishment for a Dostoevski class I took at Northwestern. Needless to say, reading the three books for class in 8 weeks wasn't quite what I'd call fun. They're very well written, and I'll visit them later on in my life, but for now, I don't even want to touch them.
March 10, 200818 yr Cat Wrangling Made Easy: Maintaining Peace and Sanity in Your Multicat Home by Dusty Rainbolt -- the one on the right actually does look like my Karen Carpenter Luvbug. Psycho Kitty: Tips for Solving Your Cat's "Crazy" Behavior by Pam Johnson-Bennett Developing Windows NT Device Drivers: A Programmer's Handbook by Edward N. Dekker & Joseph M. Newcomer Dead to the World by Charlaine Harris

Somehow I think forced reading in school has quite the opposite effect of what is intended. Luckily we had to read mostly Norwegian temporary literature in high school (no big loss), so I have been able to enjoy Dostoevsky. In addition to the above I will also recommend Demons (also known as the Possessed).

It takes me 8 weeks to read one of Dostoevskis books Its extremely well written, but its so dense!
March 10, 200818 yr It takes me 8 weeks to read one of Dostoevskis books Its extremely well written, but its so dense! keeping up with Notes From The Underground was fine, but then doing fucking Brothers Karamazov and Crime and Punishment in 5 weeks was fucking torture. hey teacher, i have 3 other fucking courses that i have to do work for, and my god damn research study. not that med school is any easier or anything.

Didn't you sign up for the Dostevsky course?
March 10, 200818 yr Didn't you sign up for the Dostevsky course? only course that fit my schedule that satisfied my fine arts/literature distro requirement
March 10, 200818 yr only course that fit my schedule that satisfied my fine arts/literature distro requirement sounds like more doctor lies.
March 11, 200818 yr ACBL March 2008 "Bridge Bulletin" Now I'll have a couple of hours of interesting reading and thinking.
March 11, 200818 yr Never could get into this or An Instance of the Fingerpost, but I enjoyed Iain Pears art mysteries so I figured I'd give this another go. So far, so good, though I've abandoned An Instance of the Fingerpost completely after multiple efforts...
March 11, 200818 yr So far, so good, though I've abandoned An Instance of the Fingerpost completely after multiple efforts... I checked that one out from the library twice, then bought an ex-library copy on abebooks. Still haven't read it.
March 12, 200818 yr The other day I found a retardedly long book on contemporary art that I just started to read. It's a compilation of criticisms, artist's tracts on art along with a bunch of extremely obscure papers like Jackson Pollack's Guggenheim grant application. I'm only a few pieces in but I'm enjoying it tremendously.
March 21, 200818 yr I'm currently reading "Everything That Rises Must Converge" by Flannery O'Connor That title is false if you're doing neural network programming
March 22, 200818 yr That title is false if you're doing neural network programming Well Flannery O'Connor is the great grandfather of neural network programming so I think she knows what she's talking about - Or she's being ironic and you're not cool enough to get it.
