I'd say go for C&P, it's one of my favourite books of them all and I've not read any Bulgakov yet so I've no idea what his stuff is like.

Right and which one of these two should I read after I finish Don Quixote?

>>	Anonymous Mon Oct 12 11:15:51 2020 No.16562315 >>16562244 Theyre not very similar at all. Using another anons expression that I picked up here, read C&P first and use the M&M to rinse your pallet so you can read more Dostoyevsky afterwards

Both books explore themes of alienation but I think the stranger does it in a way which is more relatable for the reader. I would take a quick glimpse at the philosophy of existentialism before I started though.

Is it just me or do you feel that the fantastical elements of steppenwolf take away from its overarching themes. I read it a while ago but I remember hating the ending, maybe some of it just went over my head

They are obviously quite unrelated, not even sure if I want to read one of these at all but the latter sounds like an interesting philosophical work by a popular author whereas the first has a somewhat intersting plot and is quite famous here in Germany.
Please tell me what to do

From my understanding (I have the book but have not read it) is that Tolstoy's book is a continuation of 'Confession' where he elaborates how God is within you and can be manifested through your action and thinking. Jordan Peterson talks about this book.
