<p>I just started reading * Notes from Underground * but the last book that I completed was * The Sorrows of Young Werther*. I enjoyed it.</p>
<p>lol i started Notes from the Underground (if I am correct in assuming it is the Doestoyevsky (sp…) book) and had to stop because I was bored by it. But this was sophomore year when I was a n00b, so yeah</p>
<p>You should finish it. </p>
<p>Have you read any other books by Dostoevsky?</p>
<p>I read Crime and Punishment, but I have no clue what happened in it :b</p>
<p>I started Notes from the Underground once, but I found it depressing. I probably ought to finish it.</p>
<p>Notes from Underground was… okay.</p>
<p>
Now that is a book I can read over and over and it’ll never get old. Read it twice last summer.</p>
<p>freakonomics and super freakonomics are awesome.</p>
<p>*** Slaughterhouse-Five *** by Kurt Vonnegut. It was just AMAZING. At first I was a little confused by it (the main character talked about martians and time traveling), but it turned out to be an AMAZING story about the effects war has on soldiers.</p>
<p>I just finished The Godfather, and I didn’t really enjoy it all that much. I didn’t end up caring for most of the characters.</p>
<p>On to The Hobbit.</p>
<p>Wuthering Heights. I really enjoyed it, but I usually like that type of thing. Now I have to read Cold Mountain.</p>
<p>Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult…I really enjoyed it, it makes you think about stuff from a different perspective for sureee</p>
<p>I just finished Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. Fantastic book, it really did change the way I look at the world, as cheesy as that sounds. </p>
<p>I’m currently reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance as well as The Great Gatsby</p>
<p>Edit: ^^^Also, I LOVE Nineteen Minutes, great book. I’m a huge Jodi Picoult fan.</p>
<p>Macbeth. Wasn’t as good as I expected it to be. Short and boring. But Lady Macbeth was a good character.</p>
<p>The Double - Dostoevsky</p>
<p>I haven’t started Notes from Underground yet, but I read all his longer novels. The Double was my first Dostoevsky short story. It was excellent but disturbing.</p>
<p>The scarlet letter, couldn’t understand 1/2 the book…</p>
<p>but really, was actually very good (if you’re going to read it skip the 1st/introductory chapter)</p>
<p>^haha, yeah, don’t read the intro. It has little to do with the actual story itself and is pretty much a waste of time. A lot of the writings at the time used that kind of framework. Loved Pearl though!</p>
<p>I have just finished reading the first two books of the Dune series and cannot wait to go to the library tomorrow to take out the rest. Those books are awesome.</p>
<p>The Things They Carried - It was a powerful and deep war book about Vietnam, and life in general as well. I read it because I had to for AP Lit, but I strongly recommend it.</p>
<p>^^Isn’t that the series that had to do with deserts and giant, creepy earthworms:P?</p>
