/lit/ - Literature

This is the novel that got me back into reading books. I'm not just recommending it because of that, it's also one of my favourite novels.

It's the novel that go me into literature.

Why did The Idiot leave such an impression on you?

So I decided to pick up Crime and Punishment because I really liked The Brothers Karamazov and it was also by Dostoevsky. What am I in for? Is it good? No spoilers, please.

Also, Russian novelist appreciation thread.

so whats are /lit/'s thoughts on existentialism?

Just finished.

Would it have hurt the novel that much to cut out all the shit about Luzhin and Katerina Ivanovna? It would have saved a good 150-200 pages without really taking anything away.

Still, not bad. 7/10

Why is this book such shit in comparison to The Idiot and Brothers Karamazov?

I read this two/three years ago.
I was captivated by the protagonist, his ideas and motives.
However, it vaguely bothers me that his conversation with the detective was the most memorable part. I was somewhat bored by it in it's entirety. Was I missing something? I mean it's very good, but I don't see why it's such a regular on the top 100 lists
