How was The Brothers Karamazov? I tried reading that book at least 2x, and couldn't get into it. I had read Crime and Punishment years ago, enjoyed it immensely, so figured I'd read his other works.

It sounds like you're working your way through lots of classic literature - good for you!

I've done the same thing several times in the past. I have Cervantes' Don Quixote de la Mancha to read one of these days

, and a few others I can't remember.

Brothers Karamazov was extremely tedious. I hope that the others on my list of his aren't as bad.

Yeah, I am on a Classical Literature kick right now. Looking forward to some of the book. One that isn't on the list I want to read is Dante's Divine Comedy.

That guy will make your head spin. Will also make you VERY respectful of moths.

Consent to Kill by Vince Flynn.

Mitch Rapp is the man!

**Mtnman1830** · 03-09-2009, 10:20 AM

Finally finsihed Tom Sawyer - took me long enough.

Just picked up 'The Aeneid' by Virgil

**blueeyes** · 03-10-2009, 09:06 PM

Lolita

I am frustrated by this book. I had no idea what it was about when I started reading it. I like the way the guy writes and uses all kinds of new words and very descriptive. But the topic makes my stomach turn. I don't think I will finish it. Anyone else read this?

**tapehoser** · 03-11-2009, 09:42 AM

Playing for Pizza by Grisham.

It's OK. Little slow to begin with and hasn't picked up yet and I'm 3/4 way through. It's about football....in Italy.

**Thomas** · 03-11-2009, 09:52 AM

Consent to Kill by Vince Flynn.

Mitch Rapp is the man!

I love Vince Flynn I have all his books on my iPod, and I listen to and from work. I don't have much time to read so I subscribed to www.audible.com they have thousands of books and it nice to be able to "read" books during my commute, while exercising, or doing yard work.

I just finished listening too "The Testament" by John Grisham and it was good.

Getting ready to start "Guilty". Have some computer crap to get out of the way first

**Deathcricket** · 03-12-2009, 10:47 AM

"The Pirate King" by R.A. Salvatore

It's been out for 4 months, can't believe I'm such a slacker and didn't see it see it sooner. I have to say a little disappointed... But only due to the length. It's 350 pages but it's the big "harry potter type" font where there is 4 words per line and you get a cramp from turning pages so often. Then lots of skipped pages for chapter breaks and such. Got 3/4 of the way through it on a 5 hour flight. But even after having a series 25 books long, I'm still entertained so I can't complain much.

Dead Watch, by John Sanford.
I love the Prey Novels, and the Kidd novels he wrote, so this was a next logical step.
not actually reading it at the moment, but I did just buy it today, and I will start reading it either in the bathroom sometime today, or in bed tonight. Depends on what one of the two opportunities strike me first.
