I am reading a bit too much different things at once right now, so this is a fairly long comment:

I've been reading "For Whom The Bell Tolls" by Ernest Hemingway for a while, and I have read 5/6 now. It's about partisans in the Spanish civil war. I am enjoying Hemingway's prose and the story, but I think I will wait a bit after this before reading any of his other works.

I've been meaning to read the great Chinese classic novels for a while, but I never got to it. Last week, after seeing someone on here was reading it, I decided to start reading "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The story (about the fall of the Han dynasty and the war of, you guessed it, three kingdoms) is very fun so far, but there are like 50 names in the first 50 pages, so I have trouble remembering who is who. I'm hoping for a bit more dialogue too.

I'm also halfway through the "Aeneid", the great Latin epic by Virgil. It's a decent story, but I should have gone for a modern translation instead of the old one I have now. I think I'm going to stop with this one for a while, as this is the perfect point to stop.

Lastly, I'm reading Leo Tolstoy's "The Kingdom of God Is Within You", his most well-known non-fiction work. I am a massive Tolstoy fan (War and Peace is my all time favourite novel), so I wanted to know more about his philosophy. It is very interesting so far, with how he makes arguments for non-violence, as well as his arguments against the principle of the Church. I don't always fully agree, but it is a very thought-provoking book.

Last week I also read Tolstoy's short story "Master and Man". I think it may be the best work to read as an introduction to Tolstoy. The setting is perfect for this time of the year, the prose is amazing as always, the psychological depth is unbelievable for so short a novel, and the moral part is typical for his later works, but not too prominent that it bothered me in any way. So if you're interested in reading some Tolstoy, you should definitely read this one!
