This is fucking tedious and horrible. I know this isn't a joke either. I know that some gentleman finds this book genuinely compelling, it must be really good if you like to muddle over inane details of a man's contradictory rambling for hours on end. I made it past chapter 3, this is... no.

finish it you fucking pleb. the last chapter is a strong, if not justifying, resolution.

Are you aware of the Kentish translation? I think it might be better than P&V.

Yeah, I actually prefer P&V, but it doesn't really matters. Note from Underground is such a powerful and great work, it's a masterpiece even in Garnett's translation.

I have P&V and I've read passages posted here from other translations and preferred the other translations over P&V. Of course this is from a strictly prosaic standpoint.

Have you read C&P first? I started off reading this, dropped it, read c&p and went back to it.
For some reason that helped and I enjoyed it more
