Where is Ivan Karamazov?
This book certainly made it to the top of my list of favorite books. If you want a thought provoking, philosophical reading material, pick a copy. If there is Ivan in this world, I certainly want to meet him just for the beauty of having an intellectual conversation.

This is a slow-building story but I rather enjoyed the deep discussions on religion that were fostered by the relationships of the brothers.
