I write memoir and that is mostly what I read, however, your article reminded me of how, as a young man, I had really enjoyed Dostoevsky. Thanks, may read him again!

Thank you Rod! I really enjoy rediscovering authors I liked when I was younger - I hope you find it rewarding!

Hmm, at 13 &14, I really liked "Jeeves" by PG Wodehouse. At 15, Paul Brickhills series of WW2 true escape stories by British soldiers from German prison camps.

At 78, I still read and write, but am winding down... As a mostly retired, but still practising counsellor, I find your articles well searched, appropriate and interesting.
