wow. nice choices , if one day i wnna keep just one book , it will be Idiot .

i love it exactlly becaues of your reason :)

Wow, real good books.

Crime and Punishment has been my favorite book for a while. I think it's incredible that a novel written in the 19th century may contain so many aspects of a nowaday's human being. I think that extreme ideologism (as to justify a killing) and alienation are still so current, so up-to-date, in today's Europe.  The way his mind starts to play tricks to him after he kills the old woman, the redemption he finally finds in his punishment... that's too much. I have to read it again, sooner or later.
I began reading "The Idiot", another powerful book, but I had to stop, reading it was too frustrating for me. Kind of too cruel.
I live for Sci-Fi and one of my favourite books is certainly "The Divine Intervention", by Philip K.Dick.
