Girl keeps trying to get me to read Dostoyevski, give me reasons why I should or should not

Note she's a huge russiaboo

>> No.11991811

you should because he's good and it is possible she wants to know whether you have half a brain. smart girls who recommend Based Dosto don't sleep with brainlets.

You fuck, you don't deserve your life. Give it to someone else who would appreciate it more.

You're on here. You don't have anything better to do.

How most exposition is there in his books? I ain't a fan of exposition. Also I only ever read during work breaks if it matters (no time otherwise).

>> No.11991850

Russian schoolchildren start reading War and Peace and the Brothers Karamazov as soon as they learn to read. Are you telling me that you're not able to read those works while russian children breeze through them with ease?

The only Russian book I ever read was Anna Karenina and I have a love hate relationship with it.

I loved everything related to Levin, all his chapters were bliss to read, but anything related to Anna and Vronsky made me want to blow my head off with a 12 gauge, it was painful to trudge through

Knowing that what should I read?

read Pushkin and Gogol instead; tell here she is a pleb with an inhuman conception of socio-emotional responses and that her body is a corpse waiting for the light of real art to seed new life within her (this will both sexually and intellectually arouse her; do not do this if you do not want access to her womb).

There already will be, my intelligence has already been proven to her at length. We just have very different interests, I haven't read nearly as much since I finished High School, too caught up in work and personal studies (languages), last book I really read for myself was the Bhagavad Gita.

I guess she wants me to read it because I argued that the value of an idea was not dependent on how it's communicated, while she argues that it is and suggested reading his work as proof.

>smart girls
the only girl I have ever known obsessed with Dostoyevsky (she was also keen on Hesse) was also batshit motherfucking crazy in an unattractive way (though she herself was quite attractive).
Read Dostoyevsky, flee the woman.

Alright I finished the first part, to me it does seem to be like someone who cannot accept his own failures and try to ascribe some deeper causes to them. He does seem, or claim to accept he's the way he is but the scramble to explain it shows he's lying to himself about it.
