Who is the author? I shall look for this. May I ask why this is your favorite?

Fyodor Dostoevsky. It's considered the very first existential novel.

I'm fond of the Divine Comedy, but it's best in its original language.

Or were you asking for something of a different genre?

No, any genre is fine. I have read Inferno and did a paper on it for school. I shall read the rest. I am not sure I will be able to understand it in the original language, however.

Totally welcome. Someone should never go without reading that comic once. Changed my life.

Well, if it changed your life, then it should really be worth the while.

I've always enjoyed Lovecraft.

Lovecraft is a book, or a person?

An author.

Oh. He must have published a lot of books, then. What sort of books did he write?

I'm a busy man, you realize, I can't answer to every shout out in the Network. But I suppose exceptions should be made from time to time.

My book goes well, though I'm afraid you'll have to wait to see what it is about. I'm sure you'll enjoy it, though. After all, I wrote it.

You might want to read Voltaire, too. It's... entertaining.

Thank you for taking your time in answering this. It really means a lot.

I will have to acquire the book as soon as it comes out, then. I am really looking forward to it.

Voltaire. I shall keep this in mind when I go to the library again. Thank you.
