I am currently reading "The Brothers Karamazov" by Fyodor Dostoevsky. It is a masterpiece of work in my opinion. I prefer the translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky.

Here's a quck synopsis of the book:

"The Brothers Karamazov is a murder mystery, a courtroom drama, and an exploration of erotic rivalry in a series of triangular love affairs involving the 'wicked and sentimental' Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov and his three sons -- the impulsive and sensual Dmitri; the coldly rational Ivan; and the healthy, red-cheeked young novice Aloysha. Through the gripping events of their story, Dostoevsky portrays the whole Russian life, its social and spiritual strivings, in what was both the golden age and a tragic turning point in Russian culture."
--taken from R.P. and L.V.'s translation of his story.

I highly recommend this book to everyone. It touches on several themes, especially focusing on that of Religion and God. It gave me one interesting new aspect that I failed to take notice of in Jesus' life. I know not everyone is Christian, but it goes beyond Christianity and appeals on all levels of religion in my opinion when it touches on the theme of the existence of an omnipotent being.

My next book is The "DaVinci Code." I know I'm a little back tracked on that book [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
