Brothers Karamazov > Crime and Punishment = The Idiot > Demons > The Adolescent >>>> trash > Notes from Underground

Also why the fuck is it so hard to find a decent copy of Insulted and Humiliated?

>> No.11572451

Brothers Karamazov = Dark Side of the Moon (objectively best)
Demons = Wish You Were Here (subjectively best)
The Idiot = Animals (conceptually best)

I have read Crime and Punishment and have copies of The Idiot and Brothers Karamazov.

Which should I read first?

>> No.11572490

>>11572451
You've got it all fucking wrong

Crime And Punishment > In The Court Of The Crimson King = Animals > Brothers Karamazov = Wish You Were Here > Demon Souls = Dark Souls > Dead Souls

Notes from Underground was a good book, just not a good Dostoyevsky book

Here's a much better cover for the Brothers Karamazov that people might actually be interested in.

Currently reading Notes (First Desto book I have read). Am I just plain stupid, or was the first part of the book just a bunch of mindless rambling?

I thought about quitting this book several times already. The first part is so boring.

also reading this now. its quite good now (around page 350)

>or was the first part of the book just a bunch of mindless rambling?
yeah that is exactly what it is. in the second part he goes outside and gets into all sorts of shenanigans, it's pretty funny. Reminds me of the Elliot Rodgers manifesto a bit
