"I...demand simply and directly that I be destroyed."

[Kire]

"No, they say, live, because without you there would be nothing. If everything on earth were sensible, nothing would happen. Without you, there would be no events, and there must be events."

~The Devil
The Brothers Karamazov

1. I love the Indy movies lately

where there are no "protagonist" or "antagonists", not much plot, just people ruminating on their and their loved ones existence.

I think that maybe after the Wall fell, some big bizz types invented "Terrorists"

They needed a boogie-man to build their violent toys for.

Perhaps I generalize.

2. Is there anybody better than Dostoevsky?

I just finished Demons this morning.

The appendix "At Tikohn's" ranks up there with The Grand Inquisitor's tale and the aforementioned "The Devil" chapters in BK for pure moralistic imagination.

3. I picked up C&P this weekend.

and I finished it today

I think it's my favorite book of all time. But, I always say that about the current book or movie I am reading/watching (if it's great).
