I have this book in my collection of children books. It is one book I still have from my childhood, as i read it as a child.....

 

Quoted for awesomeness.

Became one of my favorites.

 

What book exactly was it

Did they translate it yet, I wonder

Interesting, will look into it

 

Lol I can't believe I just went through all 40 pages of this thread

 

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn - One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich

I tried reading some Stephen King over the weekend, but I just couldn't get into it.
He is such a mediocre, overrated writer.

 

Maybe I'm missing something

 

Oh and I got Moliere's Tartuffe, I am hoping to be all over that in a few days.
I haven't read any Moliere since high school.

 

Stephen king purportedly uses hack writers to flesh out his plots for him,like a production line.I could never get in to him either.

 

When it comes to Stephen King, I'll wait for the movie lol.

 

I'm not reading anything but I'm thinking about getting "The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown. It's a novel in the same series as the Davinci Code. Same main character. Another one I thought about getting was Moby's "Porcelain: A Memoir". I used to love Moby.

 

Faith Versus Fact: Why Science and Religion Are Incompatible by Jerry Coyne. Haven't gotten very far into it yet, it seems pretty heavy.

 

the only thing by stephen king that I could ever get into was the dark tower series, and even then I think it is overrated. I really liked the first book, but the rest of the series was 'meh'.

 

I want to get this
