War and Peace by good old Leo

That would've been the best book ever written if Anna Karenina didn't exist. Is this your first time through W&P?

[Grey_Fox]

'The Letter of Marque' by Patrock O'Brian.

[Togakure]

Clancey: Rainbow Six. Just finished re-reading Taiko and Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa.

[Byzantine Prince]

I'm reading Bertrand Russell's Power.

It is an intense analysis of power is all its forms.

[Gregoshi]

Just finished re-reading Taiko and Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa.

I'm about 130 pages into Musashi. It is very good so far.

[R'as al Ghul]

Clancey: Rainbow Six. Just finished re-reading Taiko and Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa.

I've also just finished Musashi and although it's good I was a
bit disappointed because of the style. I guess it's my german translation
because it reads as if it was translated 30 years ago.
I noticed a lot of paralells to Lone Wolf and Cub in the storyline.
It seems that LWaC was strongly inspired by Musashi.

I've also finished Neal Stephenson's trilogy "Baroque Circle".
I'd strongly recommend them. The best books I've read in 2005.

Yeah first reading of it. Why so?

[Proletariat]

Yeah first reading of it. Why so?

Simply curious. I loved the depiction of what an anachronistic curmudgeon was like during the 1850's Russia. The Bolkonski Father is definitely my favorite Tolstoy character.

Are you enjoying the book?

[Del Arroyo]

Cien Años de Soledad, by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. For those of you who don't trust your Spanish, you can pick up a copy by the title of A Hundred Years of Solitude-- I have heard that the translation is quite good. An incredible book.

DA

This is neither correct for Russian literature nor literature in general. But, I still like you.

I'm as uncultured as your next medical field-educated Philistine, but I always figured he was part of the Golden Age of Russian Lit.

Do you consider Tolkein's work literature? (Yes, I'll get back to you on him at the private bidale, once I get a little more time)

[Mongoose]

Great Expectations. It's pretty boring so far. I'm hoping it will start moving a little faster soon. I'm at PG 5o so far.

I would agree Tolstoy was part of Russia's Literary Golden Age, but I wouldn't put Anna Karenina as the best book ever written. I wouldn't even give it the best book honor for the 19th Century.

Do you consider Tolkein's work literature?

Yes.

Do you consider Tolkein's work literature?

I do. What makes them (re)readable is much more the literature than the content.

Finished re-reading Red Dragon. Next: Silence of the lambs.

[edyzmedieval]

The Graveyard Book, Neil Gaiman.

[Moros]

Finished re-reading Red Dragon. Next: Silence of the lambs.

That's in the wrong order?

[drone]

That's in the wrong order?

Nope. In the story chronology, Red Dragon is first. After the success of the Silence of the Lambs movie, they redid Red Dragon on film. The original Red Dragon adaptation was Manhunter (1986?), by Michael Mann, with Brian Cox as Lecter.
