What Are You Reading?

[TheEconomist]

Was this on the Battle.net forums?

[Sheliek]

Yeah. He's still sanctimoniously and hypocritically prattling on, as feminazis are so wont to.

[TheEconomist]

Right, yeah. That guy. I hate that guy.

You bothered to destroy him yet?

[Sheliek]

Nah, he's plugging his ears and going 'lalalalala' whenever anyone pokes holes in his not-even-opinions.

[TheEconomist]

I used to argue with him. Then I stopped. Blood pressure dropped six points. He's had be blocked for about a year now. I love the solitude.

Meanwhile, outside the boundaries of schoolyard politics...

Ike's Bluff was an amazing book, and I highly recommend it to anyone in the slight bit interested in politics and history.

I'm rereading volume 2 of the Gulag Archipelago. Oh, dear sweet Solzhenitsyn, I shall never tire of you.

I need Cancer Ward.

Has anyone read The Brothers Karamazov? I've been wanting to find something a bit heavy while still fictional so I can still feel challenged as a reader without getting a headache from gratuitous jargon and such (Ulysses, for instance, is a clusterfuck even with footnotes and an understanding of what the plot is before going in). Any particular translation anyone who's read would recommend? I've heard the Penguin Classics one is the most accurate to the original culture it was written in, but any other opinions are welcome.

[TheEconomist]

Yeah, I bought it on sale one day. I wanted to force myself to be a bit more concerned with individual thoughts and emotions. Never could make the switch since I prefer larger scope problems (like in science fiction or cyberpunk) and it's still on my backlog. One day maybe ....

I hear its one of the works of fiction though.
