I didn't find it that good. The concept is interesting, but not relevant enough in my opinion as it ia unlikely that you will ever find a person as pure as Mishkin. Why do you like it?

It's not really that good. The story is really predictable and the only really interesting thing is the philosophy of beauty. Also, the writing is kinda stiff and lifeless

Ulysses by James Joyce is "underrated" in the sense that it is widely regarded as one of the best books ever, but it SHOULD be worshipped by our entire society and those who speak against it should be thrown into a pit of lava on national television

I remember reading this back in high school and there was that one chapter that was brutal where it just explained Dorian's interest during the last decade.

Novelas Ejemplares by Cervantes.

It seems he only wrote Quixote, but they are really good.
