words are futile devices Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I'm reading IT, but I've only got about 100 pages left, so I need to figure out what to read next! Maybe Ready Player One? That one has been sitting on my shelf untouched for a couple of years now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's so prescient of later philosophical themes and the psychological characterization is incredible. Have you read anything else by Dostoyevsky? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well then I'm glad that I chose this book to post about. I've had this book for a while, but it wasn't until recently when I've had enough time to get back to reading it. I have read one other book, and it was The Idiot. How about yourself? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cjk Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Personally, The Idiot was my least favorite of all his works...it's still pretty good though, I think I just personally disliked the character of Myshkin. Notes from the Underground is my favorite. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Notes from the Underground is my favorite. I respect that ^.^ I thought Myshkin was a decent character, though I also wouldn't say he would be a favorite either. Notes from the Underground has also been mentioned a couple times from a few friends of mine, I think I'll also give that book a read right after Crime and Punishment.

cjk Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 It's much shorter and you don't have to memorize a billion different names and nicknames. Also, it's not as much a traditional novella as the others are traditional novels, which I appreciate because I'm a weirdo. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neecee Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Recently finished "Vicious" by V.E. Schwab and it left me with a major book hangover. Not too sure what to read next, but I have a couple of TBRs on my bookshelf! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One of the few novel series about dragons I really enjoyed. I somehow can't seem to find any good ones anymore... It's also the last of my german books. Except for some of my Manga series I've completely switched to english over the past few years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh I've read a few of these books, I think 4 of them, when I was in middle school and they were awesome, I really liked them and I'm starting to think that I should reread them (this time all of them).

TheAP Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 The Perfect Score by Rob Buyea. It's a middle-grade novel told from five different perspectives. I'm finding it enjoyable so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
