[Borges]

The two Tolstoy novels on there are such smooth reads. As I said before the philosophical drivel in W&P is easily skipped. No one depicted the consciousness of his characters so naturally. You think Dostoevsky is boring? Crime and Punishment is so exciting. Never heard anyone call it boring.

They make better movies than books, for just that reason; far too much "junk" to read through or have to skip over. That's why I don't like them.
