Which is better to start with Dostoevsky, The Idiot or Crime

>>8764317
Crime and Punishment, then Notes, then The Idiot, then some short stories, then Bros K, then Demons

>>8764317
White Nights. And then Notes from the Underground.

just start with what you want, doesn't matter

>>8764317
Start from the bible tbqh

Notes from underground.

>>8764317

Between those two, start with C&P
Or consider a novella first like The Double, The Gambler, or Notes from the House of the Dead

>>8764317
>The Idiot or Crime
>Punishment

Neither of these works exist

>>8766779
>Notes from the House of the Dead
>Novella

>>8764317
Crime and Punishment. After that you can read either path of The Idiot -> The Brothers Karamazov (moralism)
or Notes From Underground -> Devils (cynicism).

It's not considered one of his full-length novels, but I can see how 115,000 words might be considered long for a novella
How about you comment on the actual work or how it relates to OP's question

I was originally choosing between C&P and Karamazov but a friend urged me to the death to pick up The Idiot, so I did,

It's a pretty balanced read, but I'm going through it slowly because I'm the kind of reader that constantly backtracks and rereads lines for clarity.

>>8764317
Idiot is easier to read

this is like /tv/ bickering over 'film' vs 'movie' vs 'flick' vs etc.
