Rereading Dostoevsky to learn better how to love life in spite of everything.

The terrific thing about classics is that most are out of copyright and available for free download.

Thumbs up! heavy reads BUT worth every page!

Got to pulling out "Paradise Lost - John Milton" and rereading it. Was a set book for English I first year moons and mooooons ago...then a punter sent me a DM and reminded me of this writer and all his work. Appreciating and understanding it better than i did so long ago.

Paradise Lost is heavy. I remember friends studying lit at university struggling with it.

There again the Russians can be heavy going too. I recall Clive James learnt the language to read War & Peace. Often something is lost outside the original language.

Way off my reading radar I prefer Khaled hosseini type books
But I am dabbling right now
:The forty rules of love ,Elif Shafak ..... Hopefully I can finally finish the art of war ,sun Tzu
But mental toughness by Ernesto Condon had my full attention for some odd reason

modnar, I saw that clip with him discussing influences with Pharrell :) I revisited Nevermind in its entirety (still awesome) with that funk element in mind. I see it!

His biography "This is a Call" really dives into the formation and evolution of the grunge rock punk scene back then. Really worth a read.

This week I'm reading "Working Stiff". For the second time, it's fascinating.

Working Stiff: Two Years, 262 Bodies, and the Making of a Medical Examiner - by Judy Melinek and T.J. Mitchell

My sympathies.
