I like a good gimnick, but "I just read a Wikipedia article about the US" was a better one than hedonism sunhawk

This isn't a question, but I'll respond by saying that I've really enjoyed all of the Dostoevsky I've read, including C&P back in high school

I think they're good books. Well, maybe not all good, but I wouldn't say I've found any boring.

At some point early on I decided to challenge myself not to repeat any authors this year.

Its hard for me to read single books. Over too quick. I need long, epic multi book series. The bigger the better. I prefer stuff that is like 10 books or more. At least 6 or 7. Even something like a trilogy feels too short. I prefer each book to be meaty too. Like hopefully at least 800 pages and closer to 1,000.

But reading is awesome. Good job, hope you enjoyed every one.

Easiest: probably The Decagon House Murders. Not sure if it was the translation or what, but felt a bit like YA level writing.

Hardest: The Sound And The Fury, which I found really rewarding once it clicked for me.

Fair enough.
I feel bad about that post now. I'm in a bad mood and I took it out on you. Sorry. Wasn't cool of me.
