The plot isn't the only thing that matters but to act like the plot isn't important is stupid. That being said, Crime and Punishment has a good plot.

The last 50 pages or so. But if you aren't attached to the main character at this point, the ending probably won't mean anything to you.

I claim that the instantiation of a plot within a linguistic framework is inherently traumatic - to interpose a human component upon an arrangement of words results in anxiety. We are seeing this in a great many works of 21st century which contain style without events, without interaction of characters, and so on and so on. This Lacan called "symbolic desertification" - the plot element passes from the real space to the symbolic space, to the absence of space. We are not in space. I claim it is the same with fist-fucking.

if you did not see the brilliance of the novel within the first 2 passages, you are hopeless. Stop reading it.
Try Moby Dick or Harry Potter

Dostoevsky is popular with Anglos precisely because of padding, "the proooooose", shitty empty irony, milky amor fati, etc.

Man this book was so mentally taxing and hard to read; I couldn't stand the negativity and bleakness

[Proud Social Justice Warrior !BgjMIiqmkk No.11998819]

Men who can't relate to the character's lack of sexual impulses will have a hard time with this book.

[Anonymous No.11998911]

Stop reading it man. I loved every moment of that book. you need to read something else.

If you're less than halfway in, give it 20 more pages and decide. If you're over halfway, consider reading Dan Brown.

People generally recommend McDuff. I've read the new Oliver ready and it's also good

[Anonymous No.11999591]

>>11999486
Thanks man. If you had to choose between Garnett and McDuff, which one would you suggest?

[Anonymous No.11999659]

When he goes into the bar and talks to Marmeladov

[Anonymous No.11999667]

>>11999486
Also, would you suggest McDuff for every Dostoyevsky in general?

[Anonymous No.11999713]

>>11999591
McDuff. Garnett is too old and takes too many liberties
>>11999667
Yeah that's the consensus.

You should search this up on some archive that's where I got it from

the second epilogue

[Anonymous No.12000592]

Just finished the second part.

All it does so far is make me wonder if I am a total brainlet because I am now blown away by the genius of the ideas put forward by the author, because that's how it was sold to me. Either I am retarded and do not "get" it, or there aren't anything crazy yet, either way it remains enjoyable. Maybe I'm just a psychopath.

The thing I liked most about this book is it made me feel like i was really there and that rascallz going nuts and constantly passing out was amusing. Page by page it was very well written.

I the whole haymarket whore thing is kind of lost on me, I don't see it as a big epiphany, but i read it by myself on my own time so i didn't have some teacher tell me what it means

The professor at my college I respected the most always talked about the brother's karmazov and I need to read that but it's fucking long

People always talk about his books being some eye opening philocphical relevation but I just don't see that when I read it.

Anyway to answer your question OP I have been watching game of thrones and episode to episode it's some of the best if not the best TV i have ever seen. I know they can never wrap up all the storylines in what is left to be released but I will still watch it all again someday

C&P is like that

I think that is what happened to me, he's a HUGE faggot. I mean huge. The balls to kill 2 people an rob them but does nothing but bitch and moan and blackout from it.

To me it was just a longer more intricate and better written for an older reader version of "Catcher in the Rye"

Holden was the biggest faggot in all of literature
