No, it would make it his Mary Poppins.

Or perhaps his Da Vinci Code.  ::)  ;D

Reading the Da Vinci Code is the crime and the punishment all in one. ;D

Quite a good book, actually, I hit a roadblock with Karamazov.
The Idiot was my fave (no surprise there, eh?).  Perhaps I'm due for another go at it.

You're not alone. I couldn't see its appeal (but maybe that's because the setting wasn't exactly right. I was on a transatlantic cruise when I read it ;D )

Would that make Nostromo his Brothers Karamazov?


:D Yes! I knew I was startin' something good ;D!

The Idiot is my favorite Dostoevsky. (Probably has alot to do with my own, Fully Realized Idiot credentials).

You know, I was dumb enough to think that I'd enjoy that book. Really lame.

Have you read Faucault's Pendulum (Eco)? If you thought you'd like Da Vinci, you can be sure you will love this one.

Seconded. Why read the Sandra Brown of conspiracy theory when you can have the Umberto Eco of it?   0:)

Re: Eco: Il Nome della Rosa was great, will probably read Foucault or Baudolino next.

And why read either when Thomas Pynchon is available?
