I read Dostoyevsky's The Gambler.

It's by far my favorite novel, published in an age where psychological novels were extremely rare. Something about Russian writers make them brilliant. I think it's all the cold weather, bad living conditions etc. The Gambler is great even when compared to modern novels.

*Novella, not novel.

Favorite full-length novel would be Slaughterhouse-Five.

Is that a horror book? sounds interesting by name

No, it's actually a satirical novel that weaves together elements of sci-fi and anti-war themes. Very humorous too. The author, Kurt Vonnegut, has written a lot of other great novels so check them out as well.

thank you,i will..i just finished both books i got for christmas so im looking for something new
I usually finish books the same day i get them which is really annoying,because books are really [email protected]£$ expensive over here.

Second Gatsby's rec of Slaughterhouse-Five. Great book.

It's a brazilian book, in english it's something like "Image-Violence: Ethnography of a provocative cinema"
A great study about violence in films!
It takes great movies like Reservoir Dogs/Pulp Fiction, Tarantino - Lost Highway, David Lynch - Funny Games, Michael Haneke and Natural Born Killers, Oliver Stone and makes an in-depth study of how directors manipulate us with violence in many ways.

Not exactly a book (it's a COMIC book) but it's Neil Gaiman! This is EPIC!

I havent read that. Will put it on my list. I love Dostoevsky.

I'm almost done.... I waited 3 years for this.

Was not sure where to post this but I have been reading the same books over and over again and now that I have a few extra bucks I wanna get a couple new books but have no idea what to read.

I am wanting to ask if there is any book something like the movie Cube or a 1 room type of thing (Exam etc...). Hopefully someone out there will know a book to recommend to me.............. all recommendations welcome!

9/10 -- I would have liked a little more personal or domestic information.. Pet peeves, everyday stuff.. There was a lot of great things in older newspapers, hilarious quotes by Mort that would have fit perfect in many chapters.

Believe it or not, Mark Wahlberg is terrific in The Gambler

Just finished. Terrific book.

Reading this Japanese book now. Enjoying it. In translation of course.

Look like I'll have to check that out.

Currently reading D.H.Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover (freely available - copyright has expired). It's a well written book, by one of the best authors of its time. For anyone who doesn't know, first published in 1932 it was banned for decades in several countries for alleged obscenity. It's eventual publication in the 1960's helped shape the then upcoming sexual revolution. The 'smut' in it is not spectacular compared to today's erotic fiction, but for me it's a must read, if only for its historical significance.

I'm reading this now & enjoying it.

40 rules of Love and i would rate it 4.2 out of 5
