I'm reading The Evolution of Physics and it's really good, unfortunately I have to return it to the library in a few days. I'm thinking about buying my own copy, so I can read it at leisure.

I'm about halfway through Dostojewskij's The Demons, and I'm actually surprised how much I'm enjoying it. The number of pages and the very small print really intimidated and kept me from reading it for quite some time, but now I'm glad I started it. I love Dostojewskij's style of writing and telling the story. It's really exciting, because you don't really know where it's going. I also love the detailed descriptions of characters and their stories. I'm really looking forward to finishing it, as I'm under the impression that a lot of action will take place and some characters might reveal their true selves.

It's good to hear you're enjoying The Demons because I have it on my tbr list. I also have The Brothers Karamazov waiting on my shelf, have you read it?

The Demons is my first Dostojewskij, but I'm planning on reading some more of his works, so The Brothers Karamazov might definitely be an option.

At the moment I’m reading Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah, as of right now I’m really enjoying this book, I’m only about 120 pages and I really want to know what happens to the characters.

Im reading a Heartbreaking work of staggering genius and I love it! I went through reading a couple duds recently and when I first started this one I was a bit worried but I didnt take long to get into it. I really love the relationship between Toph and Dave it is so sweet I have about 140 pages to go, so maybe Ill finish it today. Definitely want to read some more of his stuff. I was looking on wiki and apparently it was going to be made into a film around 2002 and Nick Hornby wrote the screenplay to it but Eggers says a film wont be made now as the options for the film have run out. I wonder how a film would have turned out. I think Im glad in the end, as there aren't many instances where the film is as good as the book.

I hate when Im talking to myself on this forum... Im reading How the light gets In, and I just hate the Margaret character so much, you know when you feel such immense hate for a fictional character you want to slap them through the page
