Yes but its worth it. Don't act like you don't enjoy getting to see what a weirdo Stepan Trofimovich is

I don't even like it, but you've clearly been filtered.

Are you mad? Of course I'll finish it.

I've read any other book besides House of the Dead by Dosto and nothing was as slow as this.

Filtered = having taste

You don't even know what the book is about. You can't even claim to truly not like it because you were filtered before you could even stake an informed claim on its contents.

I felt bad for Stepan during the whole book. Why was Dosto such a bully to him?

Yes, yes, but what again, do tell me, please, what does that matter, mon frere ? Shit is shit – nosed people avoid it.

It doesn't matter if you're okay with being filtered. Clearly you are.

Garnett is never slow.

If I say a book is shit, it is what I say. To read it, and to argue about it, would be for no purpose other than confusing your mind, so that you would think, too, that the book I said was shit, is shit. But, since nothing can be accomplished in online discussion, since no confusion is possible for me to arrouse in you: why should I say more than: shit is this book. Intellectual games, what do they accomplish but conquest of the mind of the other by the forces of your own ?

That's all fine, just don't pretend it didn't filter you. Think it was shit all you want, but if the book prevented you from getting to the end, that's definition filtration.
