    Im gonna sound like a little child now but where is Harry Potter? The only books I have ever enjoyed reading.

    All of those Dostoyevskis and Stalingers and such have made me completely hate reading. I always felt terribly depressed after reading such books.

    "The Master and Margarita" by Mikhail Bulgakov, yet another Russian, is still the best book I've ever read so far. Though I guess I still have a long way to go.

    Well, it all depends on what you are looking for in a book -or in a film, etc. That is, mere entertainment or literary quality. I've sometimes spent some good time watching stupid comedies that I already knew were not going to be part of the history of cinema...

    I know you're Estonian and Dosto was a Russian. But he was certainly one of the big ones.

    Das parfum die Geschichte eines Mörders was the best book I ever read. The story is so fluid and haunting. I recommend it up

It's a vague evil, eventually coming out as a Natsee, where it loses you if you've tired of nationalism against nationalism, but it's very fatalistic and apocalyptic, like the Lord of the Rings, like Victorian and Russian novels.

    Twilight is another high school apocalypse. I've only seen a movie or two, but you get the gist of it: 'Woe is me', it's always raining, Sophie's Choice, Rome and Juliet.

    Other than the 'reading level', if that, is there a radical difference? Are the countless murders in Harry Potter sunshine and roses? I mean they could've ripped your hearts out, but none listed really did.
