Just finished the "Delirium" chapter, where Mitya spends all of his money treating everyone in the inn to an "orgy" of a feast, which ends with him being accused and arrested. Although I've been completely captivated and awed the entire way through, this was the moment where I decided that this may be one of the handful of truly top-tier books in history (although I've only read so many). Anyone else have a similar or different experience?

I was also blown away by that chapter. I think I even preferred it to the vaunted philosophical chapters.

I've always been fond of party scenes in literature though. Maybe it has something to do with the sensory overload, the blur of social interactions, but parties seem to be fertile ground for great prose.

Agreed. I love writing them too. I'll shave vague ass party scene drugged up nonsense into anything.
