I’ve been reading a lot of German books lately, but I recently finished Dostoevsky’s The Idiot. Good, but The Karamazov Brothers is way better. I’m starting My Beloved World by Sonia Sotomayor soon.

Agreed. It’s also more disturbing on many levels
My favourite is Crime and Punishment. That’s probably a very basic answer, but Raskolnikov’s breakdown is a great depiction of some of the concepts I’m interested in studying
My favourite novel is fathers and children by turgenev

Think and grow rich by Napoleon Hill.
Started it about a year or more ago. Never really got into it and read multiple books since I started this one.
Will most likely start it again
I think I should reread Crime and Punishment because I only read it once about eight years ago. I read Fathers and Children a year ago and adored it. An often overlooked classic in my opinion.

The Lord of the Rings.
I’m a huge nerd for the films but couldn’t get into the books as a teenager, so I’m giving them a read now.

I also received this velvet clad edition of Nietzsche’s collective works as agift.
That will be quite the task!

Currently reading Dark Harvest by Will Jordan (The Critical Drinker on YouTube)
Cool story so far that is tying in to thr Dyatlov pass mystery (real creepy event from 1959 highly recommend looking it up).

I thought they have pretty much solved the mystery of Dyatlov pass?
Best guess by science is that it was a mini avalanche, but some documents found suggest otherwise.

Talking To Strangers by Malcom Gladwell.
I really like most of Gladwell’s stuff, this book is no different. Entertaining, educational.
Without the slightest criticism meant, I do find it mildly amusing that you could have 2 people read 2 different Gladwell books that discuss a similar point, and have them both argue to death on opposing sides, citing the same man as a source. Of course this is where nuance comes in to play, but it’s amusing to see how, with his definitive style, there appears to be just diametric opposition on certain ideas he has repeatedly touched.
