Looking forward to start reading some Foucault soon in school

Read "The Shoemakers" by Witkacy for school few days ago. Really interesting play and got me into him as I've never paid much attention to him actually. The sociological vision that comes out of this play is pretty amazing and well, right.

currently waiting on the ship by hans henny jahnn via ILL. i've been wanting to read this for a few years now, hope it lives up to expectations.

It probably will ; too bad there is apparently no translation of Gustav Anias Horn though.

Just started reading the brothers Karamazov again. Dostoevsky is my favourite author but actually I never fell in love with the karamazovs in the same way as many of his other books. I must have been blind, so here we go again

[Faust]

It's Ok - I don't like Crime and Punishment.

i loved crime and punishment. only read the p&v translation though.

on a related note, i watched hitchcock's rope the other night again and it seemed jimmy stew's and the killers reasoning for murder was taken straight from c&p.

[Johngd]

i like it too. But the best of dostoevsky if you ask me is The Idiot. outstanding

Interesting article about the American Age of Ignorance.

If you want to explore some more Dostoevsky, definitely read Notes from Underground. If you like Camus, you'll like this story. And if you like this story and have never read The Fall by Camus, then do that as well. Both are two of my favorite books and both are written in a similar first-person narrative.

As someone mentioned, if you're reading Dostoevsky in english, regardless of which book, try to get the P&V translations.
