Your taste in books is very good. I haven't read The Brothers Karamazov yet.
I love all of what I've read from Dostoevsky and anytime I feel like giving up on life I remember that I still haven't read TBK and it keeps me going. ;_;

>>8055430
Not my kind of thing. The only thing I like on here is 1984 and maybe Fahrenheit. You do you though.


C&P and GR are my top two favorites; I could never pick one over the other specifically because of how different they are.

Nothing new honestly, this place has been structurally similar to /mu/ for a couple of years. The only things masquerading this are the slowness of the board and the inherently greater amount of time needed to consume this board's medium of choice, when compared to music or film.

Silas Marner (George Eliot) is almost a belated coming-of-age story. Haven't read Kafka on the Shore, but I read Of Human Bondage shortly before reading Silas and love both dearly.

Song of Solomon (Toni Morrison) is slightly different but also worth your while: young guy from the city leaves his radical Black Panther friends and bad home life to discover the backwoods place where his father was born. Lots of folklore and magic stuff toward the end.
