If you are alluding to Dostoevsky’s worst novels, then, indeed, I dislike intensely The Brothers Karamazov and the ghastly Crime and Punishment rigamarole. No, I do not object to soul-searching and self-revelation, but in those books the soul, and the sins, and the sentimentality, and the journalese, hardly warrant the tedious and muddled search. Dostoyevsky’s lack of taste, his monotonous dealings with persons suffering with pre-Freudian complexes, the way he has of wallowing in the tragic misadventures of human dignity – all this is difficult to admire. I do not like this trick his characters have of ”sinning their way to Jesus” or, as a Russian author, Ivan Bunin, put it more bluntly, ”spilling Jesus all over the place."Crime and Punishment’s plot did not seem as incredibly banal in 1866 when the book was written as it does now when noble prostitutes are apt to be received a little cynically by experienced readers. Dostoyevsky never really got over the influence which the European mystery novel and the sentimental novel made upon him. The sentimental influence implied that kind of conflict he liked—placing virtuous people in pathetic situations and then extracting from these situations the last ounce of pathos. Non-Russian readers do not realize two things: that not all Russians love Dostoevsky as much as Americans do, and that most of those Russians who do, venerate him as a mystic and not as an artist. He was a prophet, a claptrap journalist and a slapdash comedian. I admit that some of his scenes, some of his tremendous farcical rows are extraordinarily amusing. But his sensitive murderers and soulful prostitutes are not to be endured for one moment—by this reader anyway. Dostoyevsky seems to have been chosen by the destiny of Russian letters to become Russia’s greatest playwright, but he took the wrong turning and wrote novels.

I'm relatively new to /lit/. The books I've read from this chart were read before I really checked this board often.

I've read the following:

>Some of the stories from Labyrinths and I know there's overlap between that Borges collection and Fictions.
>1984
>Dubliners
>Notes from Underground
>Brave New World
>The Lord of the Rings
>Metamorphosis
>The Hobbit
>Slaughterhouse Five
>Of Mice and Men

I'm presently reading the Crying of Lot 49 and am enjoying that quite a bit. I picked it up about 5 years back but it didn't click with me then but I'm getting a lot more out of it now, it's quite funny and I like the characters a lot so far.

Any suggestions on books I should really read having responded well to most of the novels I listed above that aren't listed in this chart in particular?
My favourites from the list were Dubliners, Metamorphosis and Notes from Underground. Most of these were read when I was an adolescent, so maybe I'd see them through an entirely different lens now like with what's happened with Lot 49 (I'm a 21 year old zoomer retard who read Dubliners at 15 to be a tryhard but actually really enjoyed most of the stories).

The only book I have a strong intention of re-reading from that list is Dubliners anytime soon, though.

Some of the books on the priority reading list (next few months) are Blood Meridian, Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man (if I enjoy Dubliners as much or more than I did when I first read it), the Stranger and the Trial.
