Joseph Conrad : Victory
"Whatever you do, read Conrad's latest -- Victory. Read it, if you have to pawn your watch to buy it. Conrad has exceeded himself. I am glad that I am alive, if, for no other reason, because of the joy of reading this book." Jack London, 1915

"I’ve never written one [novel] without rereading Victory. It opens up the possibilities of a novel. It makes it seem worth doing." (Joan Didion)
The Brothers Karamazov
"I've been wondering about Dostoevsky. How can a man write so badly, so unbelievably badly, and make you feel so deeply?" (Ernest Hemingway)
Up Next / The Brothers Karamazov
When I picked up The Brothers Karamazov a couple of months ago I couldn't have been more positively biased towards it. Maybe that was what went wrong.
