Alright /lit/, I'm finishing The Brothers Karamazov tonight and need to know which book to start tomorrow.

Don't know why I'm thinking this but read Tolstoy's The Cossacks for something both light and easy and interesting.. Or, read a Wodehouse or Compton-Burnette novel for something light, easy and absurd..

You know when the last time I actually read a book was?

Back when they still made books.

Westerns are cool. They have some of the Wests most absurd moralists. You can't help but be inspired.

Like fucking Shane. That guy had balls. Threw his badge right in the fucking dust.

Its not really something I want to see being remade with Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker.
