Just finished Brothers Karamazof, and now I'm reading Crime and Punishment.
I'm also finishing up the Immoralist (I can charge through an 800 page book, but when it comes to an 125 page nobel prize winner, I get distracted!  )Then I will read... Looking for Spinoza. |

I recently finished a biography on Alexander Hamilton. Chernow is a pretty good biographer, though I disagree with some of his political opinions that seep into his commentary. I'm now reading another of his biographies, this one on John D. Rockefeller.
