Jim said:
"I first read this for a leadership training course.
I found it fun to read and engaging in a parlor trick kind of way. I'm not sure I would pattern the way I live or interact with others on it but, worth a look. " |

"No one can "get" an education, for of necessity education is a continuing process."
— Louis L'Amour
— Louis L'Amour
"I have read my books by many lights, hoarding their beauty, their wit or wisdom against the dark days when I would have no book, nor a place to read. I have known hunger of the belly kind many times over, but I have known a worse hunger: the need to know and to learn."
— Louis L'Amour (Education of a Wandering Man)

I originally read the Russian literature in the early 1980's as background education for my job with the US Navy.
I found them very entertaining but, very fatalistic. I was going to say pessimistic but, they may go even further than that. Either way, I try to keep my attitude a little more upbeat - life is too short. ;-)
Hi,Jim i have a passion for Russians writers,i think you like them too.
I love the books that Jim read, i will read Anna Karenina again
