I haven't read in a while and I picked it up one night and I realized that I enjoy the heavy, intense atmosphere, and the plot entices me.
Same here. I've been wanting to get into Dostoevsky for a while and Crime and Punishment seemed to be a good place to start. I've heard a lot of good things about The Brothers Karamazov too, so that's probably where I'll head next.
Quote:Bag of Bones by Stephen King
I read this a few months back. There are some very good parts, most notably a nightmare scene you might have already read about (and if not, I think that's a mild enough spoiler). Overall, though, I felt it was unsatisfying. The antagonists were corny, and the protagonist felt too self-referential for my taste. That said, even a bad Stephen King novel is usually still worth reading through at least once.
