yeah well what do they read him for then? his characters are very 2-dimensional, and his depiction of depravity and mental illness just gets tiring. just how much can you absorb of the human condition by looking at murder and rape? of all his books, I like the House of the Dead the most... and even then, solzhenitsyn does it better.

someone's got a major hate on for dostoevsky. why can't you just be happy that some people like him? i like him because i have an emotional connection with some of his work, i found it entertaining and interesting. i also found other authors entertaining and interesting that you probably wouldnt like. what does that matter at all? besides, house of the dead was fucking boring. you just don't like him because you prefer semi-historical or non-fictional accounts. Poor Folk was a much better work than house of the dead.

>>7448415
well, if you want a discussion, why do you think a character like raskolnikov is 2 dimensional? I felt like he was connectable, his loneliness, his feeling socially disconnected, his choices leading up to a vile deed, his mind torn apart by guilt, the thing i like about dostoevsky is that he doesnt fill it all in, it's there because the character is alive, and maybe not all of it is clear just from a description, but the emotion is there, the personality bleeds through, i guess. I just dislike being told what a character is feeling or thinking at all walks and let me figure it out from their monologues, or their acts, the way their faces twist, like i would a normal person. i don't get some narrator telling me, i figure it out for myself. i might be a simp and a pleb, but i don't really mind all that.

try his shorts, the nose, the overcoat, and DEFINITELY the portrait. i didnt like dead souls either, but mostly because i felt like he didnt start it with a definite ending in mind, you can kind of tell when an author is writing with an open ended plot waiting to resolve itself.. but his shorts are gems. up to you, but i think you'll really like the portrait. in the words of dostoevsky, "We all come out from Gogol's 'Overcoat'."

How do I stay motivated to read? I have a huge pile of books on my shelf that I want to read, but I always end up distracted after around 30 minutes. It's mainly the urge to go on Steam or to check my phone which results in me sitting on the internet for an hour. I love reading, I have all my life, but I feel like my attention span is quickly diminishing. Does anyone else get this?

It's such an underrated trilogy, I originally went in expecting to read something like Proust but got a very interesting history book instead, though Prae is supposedly the Hungarian equivalent of ISOLT but I haven't got round to that yet. Hungarian literature is pretty great.

You should write horoscopes. Both these points apply somewhat to me, but I do not consider them central to the person that I am, and they are so broad and appliable to people at this place that basically anyone could agree with them.
