Maxim Gorky

utm_usic [Edit] [Delete] 10 replies 22:51, 20 June '05

I like Dostoevsky, tell me which Gorky books I'd like. Don't blind me with too much technical speaking, I'm a bit thick and I only like the stories. Structure, language and all that goes straight over my head.

Or if not Gorky, any other Russian author. I'm into Russian literature at the minute. I think its a phase I'm going through.

Is that 'My Childhood'? That's the only one of his books that Amazon have that would be dispatched within, like, a year or something.

Of course I could just order them at my local book shop...

  I've just ordered it off Amazon. I can finish my Dostoevskys and Grapes of Wrath while I wait.
  
  I've only recently discovered how great books are.
  Remarkable.

    Get 'The Heart is a Lonely Hunter' by Carson McCullers. She was only 20 when it was published (in 1940 I think) and it's beautiful. Funny, life affirming, heart warming but also quite sad in parts.
    
    My favourite book ever*.

      I just added Life of Pi to my order. It better be good! You don't want to see me angry...

        Will do!
        Let me know what you think of 'The Heart is a Lonely Hunter' after you've run down to your local bookshop and bought it.
        
        :-)
