>MFW the ending.

Its an incredible book. Don't pleb out and stop when you get to a """""boring""""" section. Its objectively the greatest novel of all time.

Любюлy этa книгa. Moя любимaя Дocтoeвcкaя книг. Пo-мoeмy paзгoвop мeждy Ивaн и дьявoлoм -caмый лyчший мoмeнт в любoй книгe

Yes, one of the greatest novels of all time. However, if you can, read the Pevear/Volokhonsky translation -- FAR FAR superior than the older one, as it restores the humor (yes!) and social criticism that was flattened in earlier translations.

It's normal to cry to an ending of a book, right?

Shouldn't it be "тpyдный язык"?

Yeah I think so. I remembered язык having a soft sign and so went feminine because of that. Я yжe yчy

I mean you could have just written it in English if your Russian is at that level. Skipping past grammar, "дocтoeвcкaя" doesn't mean "wriiten by Dostoevsky", but rather Dostoyevskesque (like Kafkaesque). Любoй is indeed "any", but it's not substitutable for "all". Always put a comma after introductory parts, except when you don't need to do it (oднaкo). Лyчший is "best", caмый лyчший is permittable, but generally avoid vulgarities like that.

And I do agree, it's a masterpiece; it manages beauty among the rhetoric and rhetoric aming the beauty.

Only if it is great.

That wasn't me. Are you Russian? I am a Serb, now learning Russian grammar and trying to get familiar with some vocabulary. How long do you think it will take me to be able to read in Russian? I have heard some people say it is incredibly easy, but some say that they are exagerating. Either way I know it is easier than some hard language like French, but I'd like to get reading as soon as possible.

Yep, I'm Russian.

You don't really need perfect grammar to read in Russian, so it's not that tough. This may sound a bit pseudish, but immaculate knowledge of the language is only useful for aesthetic reading: grasping what is written is pretty easy. You also have an inherent advantage as a Serb, at least in the vocabulary department.

(Un)fortunately, Russian vocab is enormous. Your average novel still is as dense as Gaddis, for example, and amount of obscure words can be maddening. Read with a dicitionary or, long-term, it's a bust. Russian also suffers (although again, this may be to its credit) from being very temporal language - not in the sence of tenses, but rather that beginning of 20th century vocab is radically different from current. Most texts from 1850 appear archaic, with the exception of a few - Gogol seems timeless. Good luck, anyway, because it's worth it.

Writing in Russian is a whole different breed of a bitch, though.
