It's my favourite Dostoyevsky. Read nechayev's revolutionary catechism to get an idea about what he is reacting against. Or just read the play version by Camus so you can pretend to have read it.

This is one of the most beautiful books ive ever read. Every part is connected with overs creating a whole universe with its own laws. If you read it really carefully and analytically then the ending will make you cry from the beauty of words. The length of a book doesnt matter if its that good. When ive done reading it , i wanted more but....

Ugh, I have to read other things to prepare for reading it? Dropped

>>8416139
But?

It has the most profound and diverse set of characters in any of his novels. It's his most overtly conservative and one of his few works that has very little discussion of God. Kirillov and Nikolai vsevolodovich were my favorites

Seems a very interesting book, but the first 200 pages got me so bored that I dropped it. Should I give it a second chance?

Yes, it's Dostoyevsky at his best

>>8416387
It's r9k: the book

>>8416402
then what C&P is also the 'LEL /RK9/ LOLOLOL SUKS' book too? Like just because you hate dostoyevsky's portrayal of an individuals personal anguish and dilemmas doesnt mean that that they are shit.

If anything youre prob just a fucking robot anyway irl who is projecting hard

Nah, c and p is an intensely philosophical and spiritual novel that focuses on the internal battle between nihilism and morality; between sin and redemption. It offers an answer to the those who are struggling to find faith in a world which seems void of meaning and compassion: namely, God.

Conversely, Notes From The Underground is about a literal basement dweller who is so beta he wastes all his fucking money on a fur collar. Fucking weirdo

entirely incorrect. read it again

Notes has the philosophical angle about how those who think they will find freedom in the rejection of religion's or society's laws are still bound by the immutable laws of nature.
