You are just projecting your own snobbishness onto others with these reactionary comments. I don't even care what other books you've read and liked like my sibling response requests... let's see what books you've written. I don't much care about your uneleborated opinions unless you can demonstrate how to do well that which you claim others do poorly.

The fact that you think the only reason anyone would read a classic novel is to brag also displays a lack of imagination and self awareness. No, it couldn't possibly be the same curiosity you extol in other comments about tinkering with technology!

We need more people with the capability to think critically with nuance, who can focus on something for more than 5 seconds. WoW only does one of those, and really it's not focus so much as captivation. You don't learn much about the real world from it. On the other hand, I found quite a few insights into my own present day relationships while reading The Brothers Karamazov and Swann's Way.

Is it possible the world is wrong about Crime and Punishment and we just needed rvba to wake us from our delusion? Sure. Is it more likely you just didn't get it? That's where my money is.

What are some of the best books you've ever read?
