Any book readers here?

Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

I wouldn't be surprised... the website I worked for was rather large for some time. Top grossing adult website a few years back.

Great to see there is a book thread already :)
Well right now i'm reading Fjodor M. Dostojewski's "The Brothers Karamazov".
I've already read it before once but that one was translated pretty bad and i've heard about a new translator which is known to capture Dostojewksi very good so i give it another shot.

Other than that i can only say that this is the best story i've ever read. Seriously, this guy really knows how to write. It's almost insane if you stop for a second while reading and imagine how incredibly intelligent this guy has to be in order to write this kind of literature. I wouldn't consider myself a big reader (as i usually only spend a little more than an hour a day reading (sometimes more sometimes less)) but i still get to finish all books in a decent time.

Another great read i had a while ago was "Jitterbug Perfume" by Tom Robbins. A really great read with a lot of very funny moments. For those of you who are into "smells" this is definitely a "must-read". Great story and very well written. It's one of those typical adventure-stories that grab you and don't let you go till you finished them.
