Become your own teacher and start from elementary books all up to college.

No specific theme/genre; but it's pretty much only non-fiction.

To be honest with you, I really don't remember. Someone might've mentioned it in some forum post I happened to see.

i occasionally read, the latest book i have read was The Sorrows of young Werther by Goethe. Solid boook, there are hints of early romanticism (which im not a big fan of), but the guy kills himself so its fine..

I used to love reading until around middle school when my dad forced me to read so many books for no reason that I ended up hating reading. I still like going to bookstores and occasionally when something interests me I still try to read it.

I recently reread Trumpet of the Swan for the first time since third grade. It was such a great book in my childhood that gave me so much hope. Surely if this mute trumpeter swan could find love then one day I could, right? I mean never mind the fact that his crush happens to blow into the place he's staying in halfway across the country via hurricane and she's single. I also couldn't stop giggling at the way this book kept using terms like 'queer' and 'gay' in the old fashioned way.

I loved the movie when I was little :)

I'm rereading The Idiot by Dostoevsky. I'm like the main character. Simple and good hearted in a world full of nasty people.

What other Dostoevsky books have you read?

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I never even saw the movie nor did I know there was one until just now. Might check it out though I have a feeling some stuff may have been changed.

Yeah from your reference I'm beginning to think they left out some things entirely and I may not know the true story... I just remember I liked the singing and romance love story fight? The was like over 22yrs ago for me bro

Uh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say you don't know the story just because you like the movie. I'm sure it's good even with any potential changes.

Final Fantasy XV Dawn of the Future.

Crime and punishment and the brothers Karamazov. I gave up on my reread of The Idiot. The melodramatic characters irritate me now. I'm now reading Kafka.

I read The Brothers Karamazov when I was 14, I really should read it again because I hadn't yet suffered at that age and so most of it probably went over my head.

I tried to reread it but it's written like a sermon. So much preaching

Yeah reading his novels sometimes feels like finding a needle in a haystack. Demons has had a profound impact on me (my username is the name of one of the characters) but almost everything I took away from it probably occurred over the span of 30 pages (out of 700).

Nah you're good. It just reminded me of like "Damn I'm old..." I have no idea if I've read it or not. My memories sucks. I should read it. May remember.

Loved to read fiction/novels since a very young age. An alternate reality to burry myself in. I no longer enjoy anything.

 

[noname223]

Currently I read The Broom in the system by David Foster Wallace but I am a slow reader.

 

[daley]

Anything by Etgar Keret. Mostly short stories. For example, this.

I tried reading again but I can't really concentrate on it. Tried cracking into The Lord Of The Rings by J R R Tolken but the language was too dense for me to crack. The way it's worded kinda made my eyes and brain skip around in my head.

Great series to read
