postjack Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 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". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contrastique Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ojnihs Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

en480c4 Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked that one out from the library twice, then bought an ex-library copy on abebooks. Still haven't read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chekhonte Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chekhonte Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 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.
