RE: Life Purpose, Death and Dostoievski

in #life7 years ago

I have the Karamazov Brothers staying with me for years now :) I got this huge book in India and it is in English (not my native language). So now, I just try to push myself into making "my intellectual dream" come true :)) I keep on postponing the moment. I said that in the beginning I shall read an easier novel, just a prelude for the big masterpiece. Maybe next year. 900 pages. I could do it if I start it :)
Which one did u read and which is your favorite?
tnx for passing by to my virtual world :)

Sort:  

Read a few:
“Crime and Punishment” (exciting and thrilling and gets really deep)
“The Idiot” (wise, philosophical)
“Poor Folk” (heart-breaking life story)
“The Gambler” (short story but very cool)

Favorites are Crime and Punishment - it is analytical. And really develops imagination and knowledge of a human personality. But very very dark sided.
And The Idiot - makes you think what is good and bad, right and wrong, necessary and unimportant.
All of Dostoevskiy is rather heavy reading.
But it is all works of a Master.

so last night, when i went to sleep, i started The Book :) So, thank you for the inspiration :) I couldn't go through the introduction, as it was quite late, but the beginning was made :)
So you must be at least an intelligent person with all this pages inside you :))

That’s the spirit!
Page by page, step by step.

Intelligent or not, time will show, we’ll see.
Grandmother taught me to read when i was four years old. Read every (no kidding) day ever since.
Since 2007 read in English and watch movies in English.
Movies are so much fun, too.

me i am reading since i am 5, but i don't do daily reading anymore :) or actually i do on the internet, but not "real" books :)

You are right, reading books becomes less and less frequent in digital world.
But, you know, i noticed several years ago (when i started spending more and more time with the laptop and wifi) - when you read an actual book before going to sleep - your dreams are more vivid and you fall asleep faster.
But when you have a computer or phone or tablet in front of you before you pass out - you fall asleep longer and hardly remember anything from your dreams in the morning.
