What’s the longest book you’ve ever read?

Let me start with the one I wanted to be!

It is a remarkable book, one I could easily say the best ever written by Fyodor Dostoevsky – Brothers Karamazov!

I highly recommend to all of you to read it!

Let me try to increase your appetite by some of the quotes.

“Above all, don’t lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.”

“The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.”

“This is my last message to you: in sorrow, seek happiness.”

I can say that this book, even if not the longest I read, has produced the longest lasting impressions to me! I come back to it from time to time when I need refreshing of inspiration, need to calm down and think, and try to become wiser when I need some decisions to make.

The longest book I read was TRAGEDY AND HOPE of Professor Carroll Quigley!

It has 1,348 pages, and I must confess that many parts of it I read more than three times!

It covers periods from 1880 to 1963 ( President Kennedy Assassination) explaining the forces who wanted and, in many cases, succeeded in producing tremendous suffering of human beings for their interests!

One of the Kennedy administration members said in his prologue that he was astonished to find out that this book has been allowed to be published….

Let me share some of the quotes:

“For the first time in its history, Western Civilization is in danger of being destroyed internally by a corrupt, criminal ruling cabal which is centered around the Rockefeller interests, which include elements from the Morgan, Brown, Rothschild, Du Pont, Harriman, Kuhn-Loeb, and other groupings as well. This junta took control of the political, financial, and cultural life of America in the first two decades of the twentieth century.”

The rest deeper and more precise you can find in the book!
