And I like Tolstoy's "War and Peace" most; however, I suggest watching the movie of it first by Audrey Hepburn and Henry Fonda, then read the novel.

Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" is a fine novel, too. It depicts about a man who have lost his meaning of life, and then in the end he'd find the meaning of life was to...

Also, Thomas More's "Utopia", I loved it.

that's my kind of reading! Dosto is my all time favorite author.

But if anyone wants to read the best 20th century American novel read The Invisible Man by Ellison. BTW the book is heavily inspired by Dostoevsky - especially Notes from the Underground. If anyone wants to talk about the above, let me know.

Also, Jeremy recommended a book a few months ago that was great - Into the Wild by Krakauer. The book isn't written particularly well but the topic is fantastic, and I'm certain that many people on this board would benefit from reading it.
