Wow, this is very hard. I'll limit myself to just one choice of each, though.
Most: The Brothers Karamazov because I loved The Idiot and Crime and Punishment and Karamazov is supposed to be Dostoevsky's best work.
Least: Moby Dick Somehow, I've never had to read this book for ... ... The whole town knew that his wife had been sneaking off to The House Behind the Cedars, Playing the Harlot with The Brothers Karamazov. ... Suitable Boy (fabulous!), To the Lighthouse (meh.) as my Virginia Wolf read. I did finally make it all the way through The Brothers Karamazov (whew!)
Have added Frankenstein to my TBR pile. My biggest failure is that Anna Karenina is still sitting on my shelves (for almost a year ... My top ten classic books:

It is always great to "read" Dosteyevksy. Even if I did read by listening this time, with an audiobook. While the Brothers Karamazov remains among my all-time favorites, I thought Crime and Punishment almost as good. And there was something about the slightly dark, deep voice ... ...

I love both books though. For me Notes from the Underground is a distant third. I think I may have to read that again. The Devils: The Possessed is waiting patiently on my shelf of "to be read" books, I'm ... Plato's Symposium
The Brothers Karamazov What fun! I like almost all your choices, but for variety will offer some different ones.

Some of the voluminous novels are in two or three volumes (i.e. The Idiot, The Brothers Karamazov, Crime and Punishment), and there are two volumes of Dostoyevsky's letters and some volumes containing short stories.
P.S.
I hope the LT group ... A long time ago I've readthe Brothers Karamazov and I liked it a lot.Now I'd like to read it again and to read the idiot as well. ... Dostoyevsky's novels, and I think four (at least) of them are marvellous:

Well, two famous novels I read 8-10 years ago:
The Brothers Karamazov and Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
Very looong books and great enjoyments. The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky Why, as a matter of fact, I have read both The Brothers Karamazov *and* Les Miserables. Although not in the original.
The person below me has read some classic in the original language of the author and will tell us what it is. Oh alright, Spoilsport!
TPBM has read The Brothers Karamazov. 33. Brothers Karamazow - F. Dostojevski.
Finally finished this book and I really loved this!

They also did a translation of the Brothers Karamazov that made Dostoevsky seem incredibly lively for a 19th century Russian obsessed with religion and sin, plus that Anna Karenina that Oprah so loved (no ... ... which would be nice.
Other than that, it'd be nice to read something from Fyodor Dostoevsky: Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, or maybe The Idiot? Still reading Brothers Karamazow, I love it. I think I'll be disappointed when I finish the novel, because I finished it.
Also still busy in non-fiction: Orientalism by Edward Said. Started The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoyevsky today. ... Heyer. The classics I've found hardest to put down...probably Pickwick or Bleak House and the Pevear translation of Karamazov...although the latter seemed a bit crumbly as a novel and kept breaking up into a collection of sermons. Everyone in the book is breaking into sermons: Zosima, Gr ... The latest review at amazon.uk says The Brothers Karamazov is gone from the list. #63 - I just finished The Brothers Karamazov earlier this month. Are you enjoying it? I found the begining slow going, but it gets better. Overall, I am glad I read it, but definately NOT on my - will read again someday list.
I am reading Tess of the d'Urbervilles right now, and loving it. ... am reading Tess of the D'urbervilles this weekend. Quite enjoyable in a quiet way. I am on a classics kick lately. Read The Brothers Karamazov-- enjoyable yet a bit of a chore, Brave New World - pretty good, but not my favorite subject matter, To the Ligthouse -- elegant and beautiful, ... About 360 pages in Brothers Karamazow. Doesn't Dostoevsky address something similar through one of his characters in The Brothers Karamazov. Something about an onion. I did finish The Brothers Karamazov -- it definately got better, but I didn't love it. Tedious. I am following it up with The Brothers K by David James Duncan, which many LTers have recommended and so far it is emminently more enjoyable.
Book of Job from the Bible and Brothers Karamazow by Dostojevski. Love them both. ...

I just want to gouge the eyes out of some of the characters, they're so tedious.
Although, I have fond ... Ah, I remember well the many hours I spent slogging through The Brothers Karamazov! I only finished it because I was reading it for a class and then I donated the book to the library.

It is the only early reviewer book I have gotten that has been any good.
I am slogging through The Brothers Karamazov ~ pg 250. I swear I won't give up this time, but unfortunately thus far, I am finding much of it painful. #119, same here with Age of Innocence, Madame Bovary and The Brothers Karamazov. I've read them, and I have way too many unread books stacked up to invest the time in a reread right now. Not sure I'm that eager to read either of the other two, so I may not be in this time. Too bad, since I ... I read The Magic Mountain and The Brothers Karamazov some years ago and I don't want to spend my time re-reading one of them now. They are moreover rather (very) voluminous novels (especially Dostoyevsky's).
I guess I'll go for Madame Bovary. Or Buddenbrooks ?? :-/
Age of Innocence: ... ... I hold out for the books in pristine condition. (Even then I've had some unpleasant surprises.) If a copy of the 1933 LEC Brothers Karamazov is selling for less than $200, I try to sit on my hands and hold out.

The Magic Mountain
The Brothers Karamazov
Madame Bovary
Age of Innocence
Buddenbrooks
These aren't in order of # of votes, I didn't want to skew the survey, so I mixed them up.
... ... I also haven't participated in this group before, and would vote for Madame Bovary or Far From the Madding Crowd. Or The Brothers Karamazov since I've been putting it off forever. ... I'm sure is far superior to the Garnett translation I have now. My only hesitation is that I keep hoping to find the LEC The Brothers Karamazov in the first printing they did in the 30s with amazing illustrations by Alexander King. This is rare as a hen's bicuspid and the only time I ever ... At this point I'm all for Brothers Karamazov, Buddenbrooks, or The Age of Innocence. I finished my mystery kick with Beautiful Lies - pretty good, not great.
And I just started The Brothers Karamazov last night. So far, it is going like it did last time I tried it (~ 15 years ago) I fell asleep almost immediately -- this time I will perservere. Any words of encouragement ... I've read several of the others, so I'm partial to The Brothers Karamazov and The Magic Mountain ... of Innocence

1. The Brothers Karamozov
2. Wives and Daughters and
3. Far From the Madding Crowd in that order.
I am feeling too much TBR pressure to do a reread at this point. That's why I opted out of reading Middlemarch which is one of my all-time favorites. ... ... - Alexandre Dumas = 2
Tess of the D'Urbervilles - Thomas Hardy = 2
Les Miserables - Victor Hugo = 3
The Brothers Karamozov - Fyodor Dostoyevsky = 3
Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte = 4
Madam Bovary - Gustave Flaubert - 6
I may have missed some, but ... I am going to throw my vote in for The Brothers Karamazov again. It is sitting on my shelf and I promised myself I would re-try it soon. I suspect those of you who just read War and Peace aren't down with this though.
We could also have two choices/two threads going? Perhaps a 'classic' ... ...
I also looked at my shelf and there are some others I wouldn't mind reading:
Vanity Fair William Makepeach Thackeray
The Brothers Karamazov Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Bleak House Charles Dickens ... Heights by Emily Bronte
David Copperfield by Charles Dickens
Julie or the New Heloise by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoyevsky
Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
The Trial by Franz Kafka
Why not choose a French ... My oldest TBR book is The Brothers Karamazov, which I've been meaning to read for 4 years now. I've gotten as far as the Grand Inquisitor scene, and then I stop. The crazy thing is, I like the book while I'm reading it, but then I stop for some reason and don't start again for months. Maybe its ... |
