"The Chronicles of Narnia", back when I thought it was nothing more then a cool fantasy story about fawns and evil witches.

I think that it would've been more just on my part to call Crime and Punishment a young man's book, and none-the-worse for it. It was after all a book written about a young man and (I think) by one. Unfortunately, no longer able to describe myself as such I now find much of its intensity increasingly less applicable to my life. G.G. Marquez's Love in the Time of Cholera, now that really is a perfect complement to the onset of hair-loss. |

I feel that way about most of the Beats, although On the Road was a book I never got on with at any time. |

I stopped reading altogether from about 10 til 18, then read Day of The Triffids and 1984 one summer and got back in the habit. I'll have to see how i feel about those in a few years.

On the Road, as it was mentioned. Just because I never really got into it. I can see why it is god, but in my opinion some of his novellas are better.

It is depressing, but I can still make it through, another depressing book that I could not finish, cause it really depressed me was The Sorrows of Young Werther By Goethe. |

Hey, don't get me wrong, it's a far better book than most you'll read at any time in your life. I'd hardly call Crime and Punishment a bad book, whether I'm 18 or 80. |
