Or perhaps he would endure it for a few years and then write something akin to pic related and define social media.

Is Stavrogin a Mary-Sue?

>John from Tennessee, go ahead, what you wanna say?
>THAT SHIT IS FUCKING TRASH DOG, GET THE FUCK OFF THE AIRWAYS

>don't be an ATHEIST young man, or you'll become a paedophile!
>have some jesus instead

It's 800 pages of garbage. It's a circle of boring Russians confusedly talking about what they heard the other boring Russians in their circle talking about. I don't care about the characters and they are immersed in events that never actually seem to happen; subsequently, I don't care about their unearned philosophical proclamations.

I expected some terrorists to go around burning some peasants and villages culminating in some kind of anagnorisis. Did I just start with the most boring Dostoevsky book or is this guy severely overrated?

I like reading fiction alongside non-fiction.

My December stack:
>Man and His Symbols by Jung
>Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
>Temple of the Golden Pavilion by Mishima
>The Unabomber Manifesto
>Demons by Dostoyevsky
>Neurosis and Human Growth by Karen Horney

Meditations will be read immediately after my morning meditation session as part of a routine.

My first non-fiction book will be Unabomber's manifesto; short and easy dopamine kick on completion. As for fiction, -- Mishima, because it's shorter than Demons.

Then, my next nonfiction will be Jung's book, which I'll spend most of my time with as I wanted to read it closely. My plan is to read it out loud. The last nonfiction book will be Neurosis -- I already read half of it years ago, and it was life changing. This time I'll skim the first half and read it again to see how my perspective has changed.

The last nonfiction book shall be Demons. A risky choice because of how thicc it is, but I've read Notes From the Underground and enjoyed it.

Lads, is pic related a good choice?

>I don't understand how up to now an atheist could know there was no God, yet still not kill himself immediately. Man cannot possibly exist without his former God.

What's keeping you alive, /lit/?

I've been translations for TBK and Crime and Punishment discussed quite frequently, but never much about Demons (The Posessed, Devils, etc.)

I've read Margshack for Notes, P&V for C&P and McDuff for TBK. I liked McDuff the best, but it doesn't seem that McDuff translated Demons.

Anyone have any input on this matter? It seems like there is much less of a consensus on this book, considering even its title is so often translated differently.
