We will be reading a book by Dostoevsky who said:
It is not the brains that matter most, but that which guides them -- the character, the heart, generous qualities, progressive ideas.The aim of the Book Club is to read and discuss new books together with other members.

Please try to avoid from voting for the books you have already read and/or do not intend to (re)read with us.

Thank you! :)

Whatever happened to the other books that were suggested? To the Lighthouse and The Name of the Rose and all the rest. Am I missing something on the procedures?

But if we're doing Dostoevsky, then I'll vote for Notes from Underground, since it's short and sweet and I'll be busy enough reading Ulysses as it is.

Oh, and some people might find it useful to know that a reviewer on Amazon.co.uk said that "Pevear and Volokhonsky's translation is the only one that counts."

This is our reading for the month of July (we are reading a different author's works every month).

The nominations you mentioned are for Summer Reading, which you can find here. (http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17658)

Please don't forget to register your vote by taking part in the poll! :)

I've read all of those listed but if I'm going to read one again, I'm going for Demons. I really don't think I could get through Brothers Karamazov a second time.

Asa, Idiot is fantastic book, maybe better than Crime and Punishment, you should read it!! Of course, Brothers are the best!!

Asa Adams
06-03-2006, 03:00 AM
I would agree that Brothers would be the best, especially from your enthusiasum! :D

It has nothing to do with the length, I simply didn't care for it. I know that's an unpopular opinion to have but alas, it's how I feel. I love Dostoevsky, have enjoyed everything he's ever written and there were parts of Brothers Karamazov that I enjoyed very much and characters that I loved but I have no desire to read Father Zossima's 'manifest' again or read pages and pages about how wonderful Alyosha is. I've read it once and I'm glad I did but I don't care to read it again.

I've voted for "Demons", not because I like it more, but because I think that it is less appreciated than the other great novels.

Notes from Underground, by far.

Oooh, Notes from Underground has actually received more than just my vote! So far it looks like Brothers, though.

I took a whole college level course on the one book.

*chocking*

You had an ENTIRE COURSE on the Brothers!!! Lucky lucky you!! I've read it many times, and I'll happily read it again.

But yes I do see your pont, there might be too much to discuss. Well I already voted for the B K, but

Notes from the Underground might acctually be more fun to discuss and easier to get grasp of. And don't forget the size. The chances of people acctually reading the book might increase... :nod: :nod:

whiskey
06-09-2006, 03:30 PM
I voted for "Underground" for the same reason as mentioned above: "There is a more likely chance everyone will ACTUALLY read it....."
I love "Brothers", but for summer reading? That's more like an entire summer discussion. But if i must i must.

Is there a consensus on translations for us Yankees? Constance Garnett is all i have ever read or seen.

superunknown
06-10-2006, 11:20 AM
As for translations, I've looked it up and the majority of people suggest Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky (not only with this one, but indeed with every Dostoevsky book they've done). Constance Garnett is said to be pretty outdated, and apparently she excised some portions pretty liberally in her translations of Dostoevsky. I'd say go with Pevear and Volokhonsky, and that's the copy I bought last week anyway so that's the one I'll be reading.

behindblueeyes
06-10-2006, 11:22 AM
When do we find out which one to read?

superunknown
06-10-2006, 06:48 PM
I don't know about everyone else, but my edition of Brothers is 776 pages (not counting introduction and notes at the end), so if we do that one it'll have to be 2 months.

Well, when you're so interested :brow: ...In Demons, Dostoevsky wrote:'' As a true realist, I find truth in front of succes. The problem is that for many of people succes is more important then truth...'' :nod: We're living in dynamic world, so people like dynamic books like Tolkien, King, Brown :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: Who's interested in some crazy Russian...Intellectual disaster...

06-13-2006, 06:03 AM
I planned to read the the brothers karamazov long ago and I think now its the best time and I tried to read " The Adolescent " last month and I just couldnt finish it ! I thought it was too boaring and the main character Dolgorky I just hated him I dont know why?! and its really hard to read anovel when you dont like the hero .

Asa Adams
06-13-2006, 11:56 AM
Baz, When you look at the world through previous writers, and then compare them with the writers of today, you will have that distaste for the latter. Its just how things are done. You cannot worry about the truth in Browns writing, or the wonders in tolkien's, nor the suspense in Kings. For as long as there are people like your fine self, great Literature will always be read, and while "Intellectual disatster" may continue, remember that there is still the select few who remain untainted by the markets of todays "MASTERS OF WRITING." Remain true to your "crazy Russian" my honoured friend.

As for the length of Karamazov, I don't think it should be that much of an issue, perhaps I just have too much free time and shouldn't address such matters. Perhaps I read too much :). But it is a really good book, should be read with haste.

WC2006 fever got me :banana: Brothers Karamazov team in standard 4-1-2-3 formation, attacking style. Lineup is:
Dmitry-Zossima, Fyodor, Dodgumshoe, Psycheinboat- Smerdyakov-Alyosha ,Sabo- Ryduce, Bazarov(captain), Ivan :lol:
They are playing against Idiot, team with strange name and many strange players...Their captain is some guy called Asa Adams :confused:...Never heard. WHO IS HE??? Some Poor knight maybe... :lol: :lol: Game was very thight untill the end, even the referee helped them with red card for Smerdyakov (Idiot!!), but then, great long pass from Alyosha for Bazarov who passes it unselfishly to Ryduce...and...GOOOOOOOOOAAAALLLL!!!!!!!!!!!! Great strike!!! :banana: :banana: Brothers are the world champions!!!Asa goes home...Bye!!! :lol: :lol:

HA, You remind me of Napolean from animal farm....very "unselfish"

I planned to read the the brothers karamazov long ago and I think now its the best time and I tried to read " The Adolescent " last month and I just couldnt finish it ! I thought it was too boaring and the main character Dolgorky I just hated him I dont know why?! and its really hard to read anovel when you dont like the hero .
Yes, It's only Fyodors book where you simply don't like the main character...I mean, all his characters are weird but you like them, they are interesting. But Dolgoruky... :mad:

we share a similar avatar. Yours is of a man that wrote wonderous books. Mine is of a man that also wrote amazing books

I am enough of a man to let this poll go as it should. I will do nothing of any sort to help it sway in my advantage. Nothing like recruitng Young and new members to vote for The brothers in the "Introduce yourself" thread... ;)

Nothing to forgive. This whole Dostey Poll has just been an entire Joke to you and I. Vote Idiot! Vote Brothers! Its nothing. It is just who wants to read what and when. If there is a larger fan base for The Brothers, then the Idiot stands no chance. It is just like electing a political member or party. If there are those who are more passionate about this poll, who infact favour Brothers, then it is simple. The brothers will win. Too bad your ploy didn't succeed eh, Baz? Then maybe you would have blown Idiot out of the Water. Then you would have been able to rub it in my face. Still i think you will rub it my face anyway. :lol:
