this author is incredible at narrative writing, perhaps even peerless

jane austen what a cliche that would be

i've never quite understood why they were such a phenomenon rowling produced nothing new for the fantasy genre

not a penny more, not a penny less read this book a few years back, competent story and very fluently written

one book that i forgot to mention: the fountainhead - ayn rand

i dread reading the trial again such was the affect it had upon me

oh, kafka certainly deserves a lot of time to ponder part of his skill is what he says by not saying it

Any fans?

an eagle

this is a very loose definition but for me classical is anything pre - 1900 that takes my fancy not really a fan of jane austen, to be fair examples would be madame bovary, dangerous liaisons, russian novelists like dostoevsky, tolstoy etc mainly the germans, nietzsche and schopenhauer

I also prefer books with a distinct and continuous style kafka, for example, can only write like kafka and that's part of the appeal of his books

apart from the philosophy volumes i have to consume i take a keen interest in classical and early modern literature

i lost interest in jackie collins once i had passed puberty

i do ofcourse the book is there for my entertainment and i take whichever character i like as the hero
