Punishment and Crime.

Notes from Underground is also my favorite...

>> No.1646223

Many people will probably say Notes of the Underground because it's the only work of Dostoevsky's that they've read.

The Possessed, not mentioned enough /lit/

I really liked the brothers Karamazov and now after reading the story in a really cheap format I'm sad that I didn't bought a more expensive version, because now the cover is all worn out.

pic related, it's my version

Now reading notes from underground

I leik the Idiot.

>> No.1647010

I have only read Notes from the Underground and White Nights. Didn't like either of them.

>> No.1647014

I just finished Crime and Punishment. So far I prefer Notes From Underground and The Gambler to it. It's not that it was bad, but I just liked something about the latter books more.

I might pick up The Brothers Karamazov to read on my vacation for the next few days.

>> No.1647022

I have both Crime & Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov to read. Which should I start with?

HOTD is horribly underrated.

TBK is the best of what he wrote. You'll see a lot of Notes From Underground people, but that's just because they're assigned it in 200-level Existentialism classes and they haven't read everything he wrote.

Interesting tidbit: roughly one month after Dostoevsky died, Alexander II was assassinated by the group The People's Will. Considering that "The Possessed" (or "Demons" or whatever you want to call it) was written in direct response to a politically-motivated murder in Russia I can only speculate as to what his reaction to the czar's assassination would be.
