I'm reading Dostoyevsky slowly but surely in Russian.

It's super rough

Which one?

Crime and Punnishment is first up

Next is the Brothers, after that it'll probably be either notes from. Underground or the idiot

I think that's an exaggeration, but I'll see.

It may be bad Dostoyevsky. But it's still Dostoyevsky.

I've heard that most consider The Idiot his weakest, but that it's still very good. Although I haven't heard anything about Notes.

I'm only familair with C & P and Brothers, myself, and it's been too long.

It's also classic Russian literature.

That shit is always at minimum 500 pages

I'm much more familiar with Russian film than literature, myself, but I'd like to start. Have you read any Chekov?

Bits and pieces.

I've read cherry tree? Or is it cherry orchard

Good play.

I read a bit of Uncle Vanya, but life sidetracked me.

I've recently discovered Peter Hamilton.

And by God does he know how to write.

If you have the time to read check out Pandora's Star.

Wrote on my to-do list, thanks! I used to do a lot of reading, but I've gotten behind due to school. Recently I've started making reviews for games and films on HonestGamers and Letterboxd, respectively, and since learning more about each medium heightens my appreciation for the other, I'm hoping the same will prove true for books I need to read.

He's like a better Kim Stanley Robenson. Or maybe a sci-fi George R. R. Martin.

Try out audio books at 1.5 to 2.5x speed. They make reading a lot more accessible

Good idea! I'm a quick reader, but I need to multitask.

I can't make an accurate comparison to Martin since I haven't read his books yet.

But from I can tell. Long plot arks, many characters, surprising sub plots, complex characters, long.

I think it's a pretty good fit.

Once I joined a library reading contest and read 5000 pages of political science and other nonfiction in a single summer, but I never placed. Then the next year I caught on, blazed through 21,000 pages of cahmix, and won an iPad Mini. I've never read another comic book since then, out of spite (and standards, tbh).

I've always liked large books ever since I was a kid, but only recently have I learned to appreciate poetry, so I'm hoping that will heighten my appreciation for classic literature. I'm more of a nonfiction guy, though.

is anyone on I'm having a serious problem and I need help

Although I also saw this film recently that made me finally realize the artistic potential of painting. I've got to just pick something and go with it, but I can't make up my mind. https://letterboxd.com/follow_freeman/film/the-mill-and-the-cross/

my primary youtube downloader has broken down and I need a suitable replacement

Aha, gimmie a sec

@Harazu Keshtah This is an app that doesn't require a browser and does have some neat features such as playlists and subs, but if you want just a site, then use savefrom.net.
https://www.4kdownload.com/?source=videodownloader

here's the weird thing I can't use any downloader that downloads off googlevideo urls for my isp is run by assholes and the speed is pretty dead on any downloader that functions that way.

I know it's a pretty specific standard but I don't make the rules

also savefrom.net won't recognize the video link I'm using to test new downloaders

Well, you might still want to give the other one a try. Anyway, I gotta go. Thanks for the book recommendations; you guys have some great taste!
