What are you reading?

I tried to read The Brothers Karamazov. Could not get into it after like 200-300 pages.
Is The Idiot comperable in style?

Similar, I am realizing that some depends on the english translation,
Honestly it starts pretty slow, but I have a 15 hour flight so it will probably get read regardless.

I haven't read Dostoevsky in a long time, but if I remember right, Crime and Punishment has more of a plot than either of those; easier to get into.

Crime and Punishment is the Nevermind of Dostoevsky books. Yeah it's awesome but it's the one everyone has.
Although it is much easier to get into, the idiot is several pages of dialogue before anything actually happens.

Need to finish reading notes from underground. Reading a guilty pleasure esque vampire book that flips back and forth between the present and the writing of a civil war soldier. Read Henry Rollin's Solipsist when i can't sleep or i'm bummed about halfway through.

Slowly getting through an HP Lovecraft anthology.
Great storytelling, but 99% of the stories have a crappy "oh well" ending. I love Stephen King, but now I see where he got his formula for writing endings!

I'm still at the same books I have posted a month ago. Apart from the audiobook - listened to China Miévilles Kraken in the meantime and it was pretty nice, but not as badass as his "New Crobuzon" Novels. Audiobooks are keeping me from being a total non-literary bum. Hooray for that.

for the last few weeks/months the extent of my major, daily reading has been the Old Testament.
I'm almost through the Book of Isaiah

[Holy Schnikes]

I attempted reading Jitterbug Perfume twice. I had to put it down both time. For some reason it just didn't grab my attention.

I loved Jitterbug Perfume but I've heard others say they couldn't finish it. I tried reading another Robbins book, Skinny Legs And All, and I quit halfway through, something I rarely do. First time I've had such polar opposite reactions to one author.

recently finished the girl with the dragon tattoo. got the summer boredom and was attracted to the book's size and depth, turned out to be a good read

[warwick.hoy]

I had to put the Guitar Making book down for a moment.

This is next on my reading list:



I've read and liked No Logo. It definitely got me thinking differently about how I value material goods, band names and placing an importance on keeping more of my money within the local economy.

[behndy]

this is confusing. i'm confused. YOU'RE ALL CONFUSING.

are there two "ooOooOooo! look at ME! i'm all literate and shit!" threads entitled What Are You Reading. THAT'S CONFUSING.

..... i'm reading John Dies At The End. suck it if you don't like Kindles. they're fucking awesome.
