Posts from Literature.

The book that has accompanied me throughout my entire life is Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass" (they are 2 different works, but I have one book, a 2-in-1); I can't even remember how many times I've reread it, and with the years it becomes more and more interesting. Every time I discover something new that was previously unknown to me; there is so much practical meaning in these works—from them, I learned about the theory of the empty set and many other things. But most importantly, the heroine of this book is a kind of peculiar, surreal copy of myself: the ability to make brilliant yet sometimes simultaneously absurd logical conclusions, childlike spontaneity, and a desire to understand the essence of the universe, and occasionally the feeling that everyone around has gone mad—these are the main threads stretching from Alice Liddell to me.
In short, it is a wonderful book, but to understand me, you need to read it.

I also read a little of his work. I wouldn't say I'm very familiar with it... but I know some. Did he write the stories "Poplar Shirt," "Silver Tree with a Singing Cat," and "Holey Moon"?

Yes, Tanya... it was him... =) Although, he has some works that are more interesting and powerful... But that's just my opinion...

And he also has wonderful poems in almost every work... I read them separately from the stories once - it was GREAT!

I'm not familiar with the others yet... But I trust you :) I was simply given a book containing these works (a long time ago), and I read them.

I personally like the Night Watch series the most! (Sergei Lukyanenko)

Here are two more good books:

"To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee
"Heart of a Dog" by Bulgakov

Smok, no offense, but given your love for wolves, it's especially endearing that you recommend "The Dog's Heart" :D

Oh, here are two more good books:
"To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee
"Heart of a Dog" by Bulgakov

Yes, "Heart of a Dog" is a great book! You can read it as often as "The Master and Margarita." And they made a good movie about it :) I've heard of Harper Lee, but I haven't read her books :(

I'll also add some forgotten, but much-loved books to my collection:
O. Wilde "The Picture of Dorian Gray"
A. C. Doyle "Sherlock Holmes"
And... H. Murakami "Dance Dance Dance," "Hunting Sheep," "Tony Takitani."

Yes, "The Picture of Dorian Gray" is also a good book...

Oh... I'm writing a paper on the topic of "Humor as a psychological phenomenon"... The main literature consists of 400-page books in small print, written in English, and filled with all sorts of experiments. It's incredibly boring.

And where do you study?

Tolkien ("The Lord of the Rings," "The Silmarillion")
Michael Moorcock (especially "The Rune Sword")
Bulgakov ("The Master and Margarita")
Herbert ("Dune")
Belyanin (the "Sword Without a Name" trilogy, humorous fantasy)
These are some of my favorites.

I have:
The Lord of the Rings (read it several times)
Black Spear (Perumov)
A Wizard of Earthsea
The Master and Margarita (in audio format)

Hey everyone! I don't believe that nobody is reading anything... let's share! Tell me about a book you're reading.

I'm currently reading John Galsworthy's "The Forsyte Saga." It's a real saga, in the sense that you could make a series out of it... almost a ready-made script for a new Santa Barbara (but in a good way).
It's a large work. I have two volumes, but I suspect there are actually more... The action takes place in England at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Even from a historical point of view, it's quite interesting.

) And my favorite classic is Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment."

Here! I also really liked this book. Others include: "The Master and Margarita," Terry Pratchett's books, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and a bit of Jules Verne.

"The Saga" – I just finished reading it recently. It has two volumes; the first one was easy to get into... but then various other things started distracting me from the second. But I did finish it, and I don't regret it!

And I don't really like reading fantasy. It seems unserious to me, IMHO. I really love classic science fiction literature. For example, Belyaev or Jules Verne could also be included here.

I don't know yet what I'll read next...

Pratchett is very unserious, but that's his thing; he satirizes everything and everyone! I highly recommend reading the book "Guards! Guards!". It's a short book, simply about what a real cat should be like. An independent investigation conducted by the campaign for true cat-ness found the answer. Nothing groundbreaking, just for those who want to laugh heartily.
I read "The Witcher" by Sapkowski - a great book! I understand that fantasy is not for everyone, but if you like fantasy and haven't read "The Witcher" yet (just in case!), then you should fix this immediately!
And "The Forsyte Saga" was filmed and even shown on TV.

I enjoy reading science fiction. Strugatsky, Simak, and among contemporary authors, Lukyanenko and Gromov. Recently, I started reading Pikul. His historical novels are simply excellent; I recommend them to everyone.
