What is your favorite book? Why?

My favorite book is Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. I like it because, as accurs in Brothers Karamazov and other books of the author, the psychological side of the character is shown.

The Sorrows of Young Werther I have almost finished reading The Sorrows of Young Werther by Goethe and I simply cannot take it any longer. I know how it ends (actually, everyone does it), but I am just tired of that romantic sickness called Sturm und Drang. Perhaps that feature unfolds Goethe's main feat: the romantic paradigm of unrequited love, which was created in this masterpiece, certainly characterizes the uncommon mentality of the misunderstood Werthers of all eras. And that, my friends, may be unbearable to the happy ones. Shameful, but indeed undeniable.
