Don't bother. I studied the book in high school for a term. It's one of those incredibly important books, but it's not very enjoyable.

Good to hear. I don't feel bad for backlogging it now.

Most Reformed Christians I know at least appreciate literature. It works.

I was once trying to read "Ulysses" by James Joyce, but I gave it up. Somebody's read that book?

Russian writing is similar to Irish writing. A lot of thinking and not a whole lot of action.

But Russian thoughts are usually way more interesting.

Oh you're fine. I wrote the OP. Consider joining the CC book club (see thread "books") we're reading A Christmas Carol and discussing it here in misc.

Oooh! That sounds like its right up my alley! I shall swing by and check it out.

Yeah. The last thing I would want is to get banned because of my posts in a "love-in" forum. Although I think I did bring up pistol whipping... Oh well! I've enjoyed my 2 days as a member!

I've never attempted it. I tried one page. Joyce lost me.

You read Pushkin? I read some of him years back. And, of course the mandatory Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy.

I've read a little Dostoevsky. But only two so far - Notes from the Underground and The Double. They were fascinating if incredibly somber affairs. I want to try reading The Idiot and eventually The Brothers Karamazov.
