This book was good, I just think it ends kind of prematurely. I know it's a message about gambling and bad habits but I just wanted it to last a bit more.
Now I want next book. I am thinking about "Ham on Rye" by Bukowski. From all the facebook/instagram pictures with quotes I always tought Bukowski was a fraud. I like the plot of HOR. I might start reading it.
Will it be a disappointment for me to read this after The Gambler? Could you recomend some books also?
Read Dostoeyevski's The Dream Of A Ridiculous Man
or listen to the Audiobook which is read really well by Mike Pelton

The Gambler was the first book from Dostoyevsky that i read and i enjoyed it very much.
After that i started Crime & Punishment and it was godtier. Maybe you should do that too.

Yes it's also my first book by him. I am fairly new to reading books I must admit. That's why I choose shorter books. I think I won't pick up CnP and Brother Karamazov yet.

I was also new to reading books by that time. C&P isnt really that long... 600 Pages or something like that.

I will think about it. Goal is to pick a book before tomorrow.

They sell a copy of Notes from the Underground that has a few short stories, including The Dream of a Ridiculous Man

Yes I know, my gambler copy had three short stories. Croccodile, One about rich man going to poor man party, and one with a man in a jury over his land.

othertard here, same for me and I was wondering what the next one should be, after The Gambler. thanx.
Bukowski is a fraud
He's a cheap drunken knockoff of Henry Miller
Miller isn't even that good to begin with
