[Dostoevsky]

I read The Adolescent and one of the Star Wars books. Now I'm on Ramayana at the moment and I'll probably finish it soon. After that I'm planning to read one more with which I'll probably end my reading year which was fairly productive.

Btw, I now started reading Marti Perarnau's book "Pep Confidential: The Inside Story of Pep Guardiola's First Season at Bayern Munich"

Interesting read so far about one of football's geniuses

I recently finished reading Shlomo Sand's "The Invention of the Jews". Absolutely amazing read

Sand is good, dropping truth bombs where it is needed.

True that, some interesting theories he has. Especially on the Jewish diaspora in Europe being mostly converts and not products of a mass exodus from Israel. Also being a north african, I was interested in his theory of the Jews in North Africa being judaized berbers.

Loved the book, really. Did you read any thing else from him??

@X, why was under the impression that you already read the book. Anyway if you didn't, I strongly recommend it, I'm sure you'd love it.

enjoying Freud? I found him a little.. dry

 

[Dostoevsky]

I never read much of him, mostly it was analyzing of his work by other people. I read more about Jung. IMO both of them are great but point of the view has changed drastically so they are kinda outdated nowadays. Who do you enjoy reading when it comes to psychology?

Kafka

Have you read Louis-Ferdinand Céline? I'd recommend him, he's probably the best French writer of the 20th century.

 

[Dostoevsky]

No I haven't but I'll write that down. This has been a great year book wise I read tons of work but I'm still dodging Frenchies. Wanna read more of Russians so I'll switch in the near future.

no hes not dont lie did you really finish 'voyage au bout de la nuit'?

 

[Dostoevsky]

Don't underestimate me!

I did, he's great

 

[GordoDeCentral]

you dont come off that masochistic, "Voyage au bout de l'ennui" is bland with characters that offer no substance' gloomy, whiny and with no essence: your typical frenchie from the 20th. If you like french prose go for proust or gide, now those are the real masters imo
