The Death of Ivan Ilyich - Leo Tolstoy

I wanted to see what all the fuss is about with this Tolstoy fella. I also didn't want to commit to 1500 pages to find out, if I can be totally transparent. This is more of a novella honestly.

Read Tolstoy years ago,. One of the greats. Have yet to see the seven hour epic film version of War and Peace.

Zackary Goncz

TV series?

I read War and Peace last year, but haven't picked this one up yet. May have to now :) One of my favorite Russian novels is by Alexander Solzhenitsyn: One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. A small book but a really good read.

Rich Terdoslavich

Hare yet to read Solzhenitsyn. Reading some Camus now.

Reading This Right Now

Rereading HEGARTY ON CREATIVITY: THERE ARE NO RULES. Highly recommended. There are John Hegarty videos on YouTube. Just started watching them, an interview where he talks about creativity. Check them out if you get a chance.

That sounds interesting :) As a rebel, I like the concept.

Dmytro Kosiak That sounds really cool. I speak a little Russian and can read it. I may have to give it a try.

36 Books in 2024!

I've always been an avid reader. As a kid, I was buried in a book the majority of the time and as a teenager, I was devouring a book a day. In college, I had to slow down to focus on RA duties, film projects, and script deadlines. Then as an adult building a Development Executive career, my reading...

J.L. Borges. ''Once upon a time, people and mirrors lived together''
