I never felt so disassociated from life until I finished ulysses
Bloom forever an outsider, forever out of place, who will forever be denied his son, Stephen chained to ireland like caliban, a slave to his narcissism, Molly stuck in her desperate need for male approval to affirm her worth; it just all felt like such a tragic cycle that will never be solved, it left me feeling like I was watching these people ruin themselves from the rafters, completely powerless to help

The Brothers Karamazov.
It was really dissapointing knowing that dostoyevsky didn´t get the chance to write a sequel.

Slower, more ambitious and probably also in need of more historical context to understand properly. Crime and Punishment is a great way to get into Dostoevsky since it has a limited number of characters with very clear philosophies and a nice plot to bind it all together. TBK lacks plot and is more about the characters, their interactions and the groups of people they represent.

The Last Wish wasn't great literature but it was the only book i've read in awhile that i literally could not put down. Comfy Geralt short stories are fantastic.
