Spike 12,049 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 The Trial by Franz Kafka.Very, very, very boring. It's never taken me so long to read such a short book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,993 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 The Trial by Franz Kafka.Very, very, very boring. It's never taken me so long to read such a short book.lol I remember the book. You will be perfectly fine if you read only the first and the last page to get the story. The middle of it is just Kafka's style.

Drogba11CFC 108 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 American Front, the first book in the "Great War" portion of Harry Turtledove's Southern Victory series. Turtledove eventually got lazy and turned the Confederate States into a parallel of Nazi Germany, while inserting out-of-place sex scenes and references to zinc oxide.

Kostas 1,468 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 « The Future of an Illusion » by Sigmund Freud.I have some knowledge of Freud's pseudo-scientific theories. Are the points he presents in the book related to/based on his psychological theories ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I have just finished « The Prince » by Niccolo Machiavelli One of my teachers keeps recommending this to me. Insightful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 « The Future of an Illusion » by Sigmund Freud.Excellent book. For some reason I can't help but agree with Freud whenever any of his writings. He can always explain somewhat complicated theories in a fairly simple manner.I'd recommend reading "Civiliaztion and it's Discontents" if you haven't read it yet. Best book Freud ever wrote.
