Hullo!
That Maisey's feckin cracked, but welcome onboard all the same!
How rude of me!! Allow me to introduce myself.
I prefer The Brothers Karamazov and Notes From The Underground, but there's no denying the scope and power of C & P.Natya_Raskolnikov wrote:I thank yeven kindly ma'am. Have you read the idiot? I didn't enjoy it as much, mostly because I felt that crime and punishment dealt with the inevitable moral spectrum of the human soul as opposed to the idiot's idealising that a man could be completely innocent and have that innocence "ruined" by the world around him. Less easy to swallow for me, also it seemed by the very suggestion that you could judge him as innocent and the world as "rotten" to back track on what he had written in C and P, about the acceptance of selfish or destructive motives as a natural part of the soul. What are you reading at the moment?
Welcome aboard the board!
You are what you drink - I'm a bitter man!

How did this occur??? When did this occur??? And I suppose the real question is, what hours of the day are you out of the house generally so I can steal it from you ??

Hello.
I read C&P once, but never again.
I'd have been Raskolnikov but mother nture ripped me off.

You realise that if you did get yet another one signed...the stealing plan would have to escalate to finding out when you were generally out of the house, in order to lie in wait for when you returned, kill you and take both your Dostoevskys

And yet I might be bluffing to confuse you!!! Or this might be a double bluff ...either way the human soul is a dark and mysterious place and it is well known that man can be driven to many extremes of behaviour when it comes to Eldritch autographslachert wrote:be careful, raskolnikov don't wrote about his plans via internet and have a lot of troubles anyhow

I remember groaning loudly when I saw the advert for that compilation but then I'm probably just showing my age.Dark wrote:I got into it all from The Dark Side Of The 80s as well.

oh I love Madame Bovary and the Master and Margarita as well! Sometimes I just ahve to reread those two. and the Karamazov Brothers, etc.Brideoffrankenstein wrote: Madame Bovary is pretty good, it took a while for it to get going though. Quite controversial for it's time apparantly and you can see why. A woman gets bored with her husband has affairs etc, people slagging off religion here and there so you can see why for the time it was written (1850's). Very readable as most books from this time can be a bit wordy.
Classic sci-fi would be Arthur C Clarke (so far, just got dragged into it by my boyfriend) the 2001 books and the Rama series are superb.
As far as modern classics go, try "Foucault's Pendulum" by Umberto Eco, "The Secret History" by Donna Tartt and "Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell" by Susannah Clarke.
Oh and for Russian writers try "The Master and Margarita" by Mikhail Bulgakov
but anyhow it's funny you mentioned Clarke.
I never read anything like that before, my boyfriend as well introduced me to Ben Bova and such. I quite enjoy them to my surprise.
sorry for the derail welcome to HL

It was sold at Tesco but you should have nipped into the second-hand record sto' and got Mich Mercer's Gothic Rock collection like I did. Probably not as commercial but just as funDark wrote:I don't remember any advert for it, but I was 13 at the time.silentNate wrote:I remember groaning loudly when I saw the advert for that compilation but then I'm probably just showing my age.Dark wrote:I got into it all from The Dark Side Of The 80s as well.
