Tel Aviv Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I read Crime and Punishment for the first time when I was 16. I'd never read anything as powerful as that before. It could whip me up into a frenzy at times. Afterwards I went on a bit of a Dostoevsky bender, read Karamazov, The Idiot, The Devils and Notes From The Underground. I was seriously ****ed by the end. At the time I don't think I could cope with all the foreign concepts. But all of them are worth a read if you have the patience, Karamazov especially... if only for Ivan.

Dark Moth Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 My secondary school Calculus text book (ironically) rocked my faith in the perfection of mathematics. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Calculus was already invented back in the Stone Age? You've got to be kidding me. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not too far off. It actually has its roots in ancient Greece. (though it may have been touched by the Egyptians earlier).
