is this any good? i want to read it but 400 pages of a man staying

It's good.

Goncharov spends a lot of time giving backstories to the people who visit Oblomov, it's not just a long description of him sitting down.

He does a fair bit in the second half of the book too

He's more active than you think. I'm not finished yet, but it's not what I expected. Great book though.

Its quite good. I actually found the bits set in his room the best

will it teach me to get out of the same situation that he is in

No but it might encourage you if it makes you empathize enough to spark some productive self hatred
