... library. I've settled on Cap'n Fatso! I'm currently reading about those dysfunctional Karamazov boys, I'd recommend The Brothers Karamazov

... conversation? I'm a Bronte and Foster fan meself. Speaking of dysfunctional family stories, I'm currently reading The Brothers Karamazov.

I've started The Brothers Karamazov, but things are getting busy. I hope to finish it before 2010!

I'm reading The Brothers Karamazov for the next millenium. It does seem long to me. Hey benwaugh, ' know any good editions of The Thousand Nights and a Night?

Greetings, everyone, I'm just joining. I'm over in Staraya, Russia, reading The Brothers Karamazov. I doubt I'll be posting too much, over here. This book's a long one!

Greetings, everyone, I'm just joining. I'm over in Staraya, Russia, reading The Brothers Karamazov. I doubt I'll be posting too much, over here. This book's a long one!

I just started The Brothers Karamazov. I'm afraid I won't be posting here for a while; I'll be reading this one for a long, long, time.

Decided to give up on Neuromancer. Sci-fi's just not my thing. Will devoted full attention to The Brothers Karamazov now.

Isaac Babel's Collected Works, Adam Foulds's The Quickening Maze and The Brothers Karamazov. I'm finding the Karamazovs hysterical so far; Foulds's prose is pleasure in itself but his overall narrative is disjointed - but then I do tend to fall for 'inspired but flawed' more often than ...

The Brothers Karamazov. Good ol' dense Dosteoevsky. Maybe I should switch to Shark Girl?

... about to come out. It may be a good book (is it? anybody?), but the audio version is awful. And occasionally I'll pick up The Brothers Karamazov, which I'm determined to finish this year or die trying. Whew. No wonder people shake their heads at me...

... again. And in keeping with the spirit of the season, I bulled through The Great Influenza. I'm currently reading The Brothers Karamazov. That should take me to the end of the year...

... I have not been on here much either. Life has rather gotten in the way, but it happens. I do not intend to begin reading The Brothers Karamazov until after the first of the year. I want to get the holidays behind me first. Will that work for you? And it's not a have to at that point. I am ...

... 2. I have been having withdrawal. =) I haven't even finished a book this month yet. (I have two days left still.) So yeah. The Brothers Karamazov. I have no idea where it stands. (I've had to move it to a lovely prominent place on the bookshelf by my desk. It kept staring at me and giving me ...

... of new yous being born. 'Swhy I do a bunch of notes on each book in my lj when I read it. Very excited to compare, e.g. Brothers Karamazov 2007 with Brothers Karamazov 2033.

The Brothers Karamozov by Fjodor Dostoevsky

I can't believe you've read War and Peace, Anna Karenina and The Brothers Karamazov in one year! And read 76 books in total so far! I'm planning to start The Idiot soon and will use you as my inspiration if I find myself flagging!

Brothers Karamazov is on my top ten novels ever written, make sure to get the Pevear translation. Give this novel a good try. Here is some help with Brothers Karamazov... http://www.librarything.com/topic/56544#1220960

I haven't read Brothers Karamazov, but I didn't have any trouble with Crime and Punishment. And I'm not a heavy lit person at all. Well, I threw the book across the room at one point. But in response to a plot point rather than it getting too headachey.

... but I'm open to suggestions if anyone has a preference. >87 good to know it might be a bit easier reading! I liked Brothers Karamazov pretty well once I was into the story a bit, but found what was in my edition books 5 and 6 particularly daunting.

@82 The way I recall it (though it's been like ten years) Crime and punishment was a much smoother read than Karamazov. Bit of a page turner even! Edit: Getting the brothers' last name spelled right. It's bedtime for swedes, I think...

... reading Crime and Punishment sometime next year? I'm going to try to read it for my "Recommendations" category, but if The Brothers Karamazov is anything to go by, I may need support to be able to finish it. :-)

... count your Russian book, the two you mentioned are not the only doorstop classics. Don't forget Dostoevsky and his Brothers Karamazov. Oh, and welcome to the challenge!

... some graphic novels. Present (18)-Continuing to read Evelyn Waugh, working on the Russians (The Master and Margarita, The Brothers Karamazov), and reading a lot of nonfiction about various religions. Unfortunately, my reading habits have become more sporadic as school has started up again, ...

malwethian, definitely a turn for the better. The Brother's Karamazov is my all time favorite book. I first read it in high school, and I pick it up and reread it periodically. A friend once described it as a philosophical novel disguised as a murder mystery disguised as a soap opera. It works ...

I was reading Dan Brown's "The Lost Symbol" but got distracted by Fyodor Dostoyevsky's "The Brother's Karamazov." Very interesting...

Hola Belva Well, I'll be looking forwards to your witty negative review of it. I plan to start rereading The Brothers Karamazov from the beginning and I don't plan to start until Saturday at the earliest, more likely later in the month. My copy has 796 pages total and I have the Pevear/Volo ...

Hola Belva. Thanks. I am planning to read Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov this fall. I started it for a group read than life got in the way. I have been wanting to pick it up again since then. I decided to wait until the fall because summer didn't seem like the time to read Dostoevsky. I ...

In that case, probably not Vanity Fair or The Brothers Karamazov, although I would like to read both soon. Both are pretty lengthy. From message 82, I would read Count of Monte Cristo, To The Lighthouse (haven't read a Virginia Woolf book yet) or Howards End. I've read the rest. Ma ...

The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky (5 stars)- This was my second foray into Dostoevsky, and I wasn't dissapointed. Dostoevsky had a remarkable ability to capture people just as they are. His characters secret motivations are displayed for all to see in a way that is more real than any ...

Yes... never say never... But even the group read wasn't enough to inspire me to re-read The Brothers Karamazov, though I did enjoy reading the comments.

Oh, but you might! The Brothers Karamazov was a reread for me this year--the group read inspired me to revisit a book I'd read so long ago it was no longer clear in my mind.

I'm still reading The Brothers Karamazov and just last night finished The Measure of a Man and When We Were Romans. I've always been impressed by Sidney Poitier as an actor ever since 'To Sir With Love'. But that's the character, and I'm now every bit as much impressed by the man himself. ...

I have a whole slew of books on the go. The Brothers Karamazov is well underway, not as far as I want to be since I leave it at home -- feels kinda pretentious to be reading it in public, but I may have to just to finish on time! I'm also enjoying So Many Books, So Little Time which was ...

I'm reading The Brothers Karamazov for the 999 Challenge group read, as well as Sydney Poitier's autobiography The Measure of a Man. I also have an ebook on the go, The Alexander Cipher although I haven't made much progress as yet.

Last night I started and finished Legs Talk: let your legs do the talking and City Above The Sea. I also read some of The Brothers Karamazov for the group read.

How are you liking The Brothers Karamazov? I'm enjoying it so far, but can't say I see much in it to explain Lost. I guess there are thematic things, like the "father issues" you mentioned, but other than that... When you've seen the newest episode ("This Place is Death"), I'd be interested ...

I'm wondering how the tag pages work. According to the work page for The Brothers Karamazov, 7 people have it tagged '999 challenge' yet if you look on the '999 challenge' tag page, the book is not even listed (at least not for me). Weird.

I'll be interested to read your comments on The Brothers Karamazov. I tired it several years ago, but put it down. I think it was too much for me at the time. I'll try again eventually.

Reading The Brothers Karamazov for the group read & my "Lost" category. Reading The Last Knight by Hilari Bell for my YA/Children's category, and don't want to put it down! Rather a meandering plot, but I like the humor and the characters. Also, still listening to Going Postal and ...

I've heard/read somewhere that The Brothers Karamazov is regarded as Dostoevsky's main work. Three other novels are included in 'The World Library' (A series from The Norwegian Book Club): 'Demons' (I guess it's another title of 'The Possessed') Crime and Punishment and The Idiot

I think I'm going to start small, with some short works by FD. Might try The Brothers Karamazov - I've got an old copy, but I think I might pick up the translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky.

... hot & sweaty and rather envious of those in the northern hemisphere with cooler curl-up-and-read weather. I'm reading The Brothers Karamazov and not progressing too well. It's too darn hot!

I've added some light reading as well, so that makes three on the go at the moment. The Brothers Karamazov for the group read, The Alexander Cipher for my ebook, and Head Over Heels for my portable light reading.

Hola ya'll DeeBee left me a comment that ya'll are reading a year of Doetoevsky. I'm about to get started reading The Brothers Karamazov with as a 999 Challenge Group here. This will be my first group read here on LT and my first Doetoevsky novel. So I just wanted to stop by and say hi here.

>19 chrine, The Brother Karamazov is a wonderful book! It is one of those novels one could read thousands of times and still gain new insights with each reading.

I brought The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky from the B&N tonight and picked up The Post-Birthday World by Lionel Shriver from the bargain section while I was there.

The Russians are at my place too. =) I brought The Brothers Karamazov tonight and The Post-Birthday World by Lionel Shriver. I vote for a new thread Sunday as well.

I've done it. I'm officially definitely no-turning-back going to try to read The Brothers Karamazov. I brought a copy at the B&N today. After reading around a bit online, I chose to get the newer Pevear/Volokhonsky tranlation. An added benefit is that I like the cover on that one. Bold and bright. ...

I picked up The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky at the B&N this evening. What am I getting myself into? I also grabbed The Post-Birthday World by Lionel Shriver from the bargain selection.

... Reading' thread for each month, or just let this one go on? Just curious. The Russians are coming! I'll be diving in to The Brothers Karamazov tomorrow. I've started two discussion threads so we should be in good shape for our group read.

Welcome! This is a 'spoiler free' area to discuss The Brothers Karamazov. Looking forward to reading it with all of you. I plan on starting tomorrow afternoon. I just wrapped up everything else I had going on so it's a good time for me.

Welcome! This is a 'spoilers allowed' discussion thread for those reading The Brothers Karamazov, so anything goes. Looking forward to a lively discussion!

Exciting indeed! This will be my first foray beyond The Brothers Karamazov.

Coincidentally, as part of the 999 Challenge, I am starting a group read for The Brothers Karamazov on February 1. --BJ

From the library today: The Graveyard Book Blood and Iron and The Brothers Karamazov These (and my 4 other library books) should keep me busy during vacation next week! :-)

... English one, despite the sad state of my German! Anyway, I was more concerned that someone might not take part in reading The Brothers Karamazov because they didn't have the "right" translation, or their library didn't have the recommended one.

... do you have waiting in the wings? I'd be interested in seeing what you thought of it when you get to it. Good luck with Brothers Karamazov in the meantime!

... before. I am not that fast of a reader either, but I just hang in there with the long books until I finish. I will start The Brothers Karamazov for sure and hope to see you there! :) I have heard that it is a great book. --BJ

Well, several members of the 999 challenge are doing a group read of The Brothers Karamazov in February. Classics seem to be fairly popular.

Speaking of Dostoevsky (or were we?) Crime and Punishment belongs on the crime list. The Brothers Karamazov belongs on some list, horror perhaps. On the road books: Anabasis (Xenophon), Down and Out in Paris and London (Orwell), Candide (Voltaire), The Vicar of Wakefiled (Goldsmith) ...

I may put it off a bit, however, so as not to overlap with A Mercy too much. A short book or two will be nice after The Brothers Karamazov, although I love a meaty read. Btw, have you read The Known World? That also deals with slavery, and is another that many found flat, but I ended up ...

I think God is telling me to slip over to the 999 Group and read The Brothers Karamazov with them next month. Sorry if this sounds blasphemous...maybe I am just trying too hard to be humorous. And I do need a support group for this book!

... Donna. I just checked to see if it had been delivered to my front porch yet. Bummer, not there. Oh, well, still deep in The Brothers Karamazov ...

... Night because of its simplicity, which reveals a deep complexity, imho. I am feeling just the opposite about The Brothers Karamazov, which I am reading again after a 30-year interim. I loved it the first time, but this time I find I am impatient with the author's sidetracks into ...

My memory may be a bit entangled with so many "threads" but I seem to recall that some group is doing a group read of The Brothers Karamazov beginning in February. Does that ring anybody's bell? Reading Dosteovsky and Mann are two of my goals as well, although one of each will do for me. :-) G ...

Anna Karenina is one of my all time favorite reads, a rare, true 5 star book. Definitely choose Anna Karenina over The Brothers Karamazov if you have to. With The Brothers Karamazov I would personally recommend the Richard Pevear, and Larissa Volokhonsky translation. The Constance Garnett ...

An astonishing number of people (specifically, more than two) have mentioned wanting to (or being willing to) read The Brothers Karamazov. I suggest that we band together for the purpose of encouraging one another. So sign on here if you've added it to your Challenge! I suggest that we ...

Brothers Karamazov does not fit into any of my categories but it does fit into my long-term 1001 list ambitions. I would like to join in. I am remembering that this is a challenge!

Planning to read The Brothers Karamazov as part of your 999 challenge? Do you have an idea on when you want to read it? Should we attempt to read it together as a group? IMO, the more the merrier... and I'm going to need all the help I can recruit to get through it! Let's talk! edited to ask: ...

I'd like to add Brothers Karamazov as well - and there are definitely places on my list. We should do a 999 Challenge Group Read! yay!

I am also planning to tackle The Brothers Karamazov this year and try to read at least part of In Search of Lost Time. The Proust really intimidates me alot. I think that the Dostoevsky will also be a challenge, but I have enjoyed other Russian novels. I also loved Kristin Lavransdatter. ...

If several others are reading Brothers Karamazov, I might go along. I've brought it home from the library a couple of times - stared at it for a couple of weeks - then took it back without ever opening it up. Just too intimidating. Right now, I'm about half through with Dr Zhivago, and it's ...

I've seen The Brothers Karamazov on a couple of other lists and am considering adding it to mine. It scares me. I have trouble keeping Russian names (and nicknames) all sorted out. I worry that I won't be able to understand who's doing what. I also noticed it has an 'existentialism' tag on it and ...

Okay, since two other brave souls have The Brothers Karamazov on their lists, I will add it to my Challenge as well. I think I may need to know others are reading it at the same time, not because it's a difficult book, but because it's soooooo long. This way we can gossip our way through.

... so those will be my first tbrs from this list. Of the ones removed from the original list I have one major quibble--The Borthers Karamazov definitely should have been left on the list! I would also vote to put Cannery Row back on--but that is probably because it is a personal favorite ...

RidgewayGirl, you crack me up! :) Thanks for the suggestions. And I'll let you know about The Brothers Karamazov. But I have been wanting to read it for a couple of months now. I think it sounds like a good book for January. I am getting excited about the 999 Challenge! I still have about 7 ...

About 360 pages in Brothers Karamazow.

Doesn't Dostoevsky address something similar through one of his characters in The Brothers Karamazov. Something about an onion.

I did finish The Brothers Karamazov -- it definately got better, but I didn't love it. Tedious. I am following it up with The Brothers K by David James Duncan, which many LTers have recommended and so far it is emminently more enjoyable.

Ah, I remember well the many hours I spent slogging through The Brothers Karamazov! I only finished it because I was reading it for a class and then I donated the book to the library. However, if you haven't already read David James Duncan's book The Brothers K, you might enjoy it more. It ...

At this point I'm all for Brothers Karamazov, Buddenbrooks, or The Age of Innocence.
