    I've just finished Don Quixote, really great read. Liked the way the humour has migrated so well across translation/through time. I hear Terry Gilliam is going to do a film about it, really not sure about that...

    I think I'm going to get into another Wilkie Collins book next, that'll keep me entertained for a few weeks.

        Haven't read any comics /graphic novels for quite some time but have just recently discovered this and was hooked right away.

            Good of you to remind me, I need to buy that and Notre Dame des Fleurs asap. Although I have a list of book recommendations longer than my arm...

                You really reading Brothers Karamazov? What a book that is, you will be dwelling on it after you finish it for as long as you were reading it, takes lots of digestion - awesome book, amazing.

                I'm currently gripped by Mark Z Danielewski's House of Leaves - really getting under my skin.

                      Why does that shock you? I am thinking to audit a graduate level course on BK in the spring, so I am reading it in the original, before I read it in English for that.

                        doesn't shock me that you're reading it, but it feels like it's at the opposite end of the scale to Devil Wears Prada. Plus many people say they are reading it but give up on it.

                        I think the major sentiment in that exclamation was excitement though, it's pretty much on of my most praised books.

                        If you have read it in the original form as well as translated i'd be interested to hear you're thoughts on it.... or links to...

                          A refined and brutality filtered Hammett. Hot and cold running women, blackmail, witty one liners and of course, a cynical, seen-it-all-before protagonist with a crime stopping right hook and a smile that can melt a femme fatale's heart at twenty paces.

                              I've got Lady in the Water sitting on my bookshelf ready to roll after I finish up with The Big Sleep.

                              The movie's sitting right next to it. It's been there a while. I've held back on watching it until I've read the book. I can never stand watching a movie if I know it was based on a novel I haven't read yet.
