Anyone read "House of the dead"
by our god Dostoyevskij?
I read it some 10-15 year ago, still think of episodes from it.

I too read D quite some time ago but not that one; dig the 30's Everyman's Library fp, though.

Yes it's quite beautiful. I find the contrast between the contemplative nature of this book and the description of Dostoevsky as an insane ranting shitposter in that Polish political prisoner's memoir hilarious.
