Tolkien. This summer I decided to read Dostoyevsky's "The Brothers Karamazov". I decided to read Dostoyevsky primarily because Philip Yancey quotes his works so often in his christian writings, often contrasting Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy and their divergent views on the christian walk and the effects that can be seen in both their lives as well as their literature. I must say that "The Brothers Karamazov", while being one of the more daunting reads that I have undertook, was also one of the most rewarding. The famous chapter "The Grand Inquisitor" I actually reread several times. I would recomend this great book to anyone who has several weeks they can put aside for it.
