I'm from Kyrghyzstan or Kyrghyz Republic. It borders with Kazahstan, not far from Russia. I was born in the capital of KR Bishkek and still living here. I wonder are there anybody from this area.

Hello! Here are my top 3 of classics:
1. Seneka- "Epistulae morales ad Lucilium"- collection of 124 letters dealing with moral issues written to Lucilius Junior.
2. Dostoevsky- "The Brothers Karamazov"
3. Defoe- "Robinson Crusoe"

These japaneses, they can create something clinging.
Naruto is the best dattebayo.

Usually when I begin to read any book first of all I pay attention to it's content and if after about 50 pages it's not clinging I stop it.

By the way, I read this book in russian, but I'm really going to read it in Oscar Wilde's native language, it must be more interesting in English, although the main idea will be the same.

This book is just brilliant! I read it in a single breathe, fascinating and intriguing. It lead me to the thought, we must live our life with dignity. It taught me a lot.

I personally highly recommend all to read "The Brothers Karamazov". This book encourages reader to think about many things, at least about the sense of life.

Fyodor Mikhaylovich Dostoyevsky (11 November 1821 – 9 February 1881) was a Russian writer of realist fiction and essays. He is best known for his novels Crime and Punishment, The Idiot and The Brothers Karamazov.
Dostoyevsky's literary works explored human psychology in the troubled political, social and spiritual context of 19th-century Russian society.
I think he is the best russian writer. Especially I would like to highlight "The Brothers Karamazov".
Have you read any book by Dostoevsky? What is your opinion?

I read 2 books by Murakami, and discovered similarities with creations of Chingiz Aitmatov. Particularly I must emphasis very big similarity between Murakami's "Kafka on the Shore" and Aitmatov's "The Day Lasts More Than a Hundred Years".
Additionally I found Murakami's style somewhat strange and it calls many negotive feelings and thoughts.
-
Sorry for my sharp comment, but I think the creation of this author is extremely banal, and doesn't reflect any interesting idea.

Difference is Bell was real Holmes is fiction
Sir Arthur had an interesting life himself, this is worth a read
Thanks for link. I'll read it without fall.

Recently I refreshed my memory about movie "Meet the F.ckers-2" which I wached on tv-and thought about unforgetable moments in our life. Watched "2012" on DVD-and thought about the future. "Sanctum" at cinema-and thought about perfection. After I made a conclusion to follow old wisdom word "Don't worry be happy."

There is still no person who possess with such abilities. Proportion between Bell and Holmes is next:
Holmes=Bell*10

If I'm not wrong Joseph Bell was the teacher in Edinburg university where Conan Doyle studied. And Sharlock Holmes is the prototype of those teacher. As Conan Doyle said: "Joseph Bell astonish every student with his fenomenal abilities of observation and deduction."
In fact the appearance of SH was an accident. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was a doctor by calling and he wrote this story only to make some money.
Joanne Rowling does the same. And now she is alive legend for million people.

In first part of movie Irene Adler said to Holmes, he must beware of Moriarti, because he is crazy genius. In origal book Moriarti will die in if I'm not wrong "Last affair of Holmes" part.
I wonder who will win, of course I don't exclude a fact that Hollywood will bring victory to Holmes as major hero. But who knows.
P.S: I think Dr.House is the prototype of Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock Holmes of 21st century.
-
I wonder, if Conan Doyle born such hero,(and I must confess I never heard about reall person who can apply deduction as brilliantly as Sharlock Holmes in reall life, he must be very smart like Holmes. What do you think about that?
-
Original version of Adventures of Sharlock Holmes is only one in the world, written by sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I advise you first of all to read an original book.
