You have 10 seconds to explain why pic related isn't the greatest novel of all time

It's not as good as The Brothers Karamazov

Ce n'est pas un livre.

Because Moby Dick, or Brothers Karamazov.

That was easy. Though OP is a strong contender

How can it be a strong contender if there are easy examples of greater novels?

Reading each page sequentially until I reached the end of the book worked pretty well for me

do you suggest reading all the words sequentially from left to right from the top down, as well?

Personally, I enjoyed how nearly every character has a counterpart and how Dostoesvky approaches these dichotomies and gives logical arguments for both sides. In this way, he manages to capture all of 19th century Russia into one book. And then there's sweet Aloysha, who is left to essentially witness everything.

I also love his narration style. He knows how to make something feel less like a novel and more like him sitting you down and telling you a story in person.

And she opened the book and began reading here and there at random, and as she did so she felt that she was climbing backwards, upwards, shoving her way up under petals that curved over her, so that she only knew this is white, or this is red. She did not know at first what the words meant at all.

About halfway through myself. I like to take notes after each chapter, but I do that for every book. If I was starting again, I'd keep a chart of the characters and how each is related.
