Having just finished C&P, I want to read another Dosto novel, and am wondering which one of The Idiot and Demons would be the better choice. I want to read The Brother Karamazov too, but I'm thinking about putting it off for a while, seeing as it's claimed to be his most complex work.
So The Idiot or Demons, which is it?

so what if it's "his most complex"?? just put more effort into understanding it, it's not hard
you are all fucking defeatist plebs

Neither read The Brothers Karamazov that and Crime and Punishment are quite literally the two greatest works of fiction ever written. Source English major who has read close to two hundred or so works of fiction throughout my life

Neither, read Notes from the Underground instead.

I'd read The Brothers if I could, but I'm stuck i n a weird situation where I can't.

This shithole of a country I live in has no libraries or bookstores that have Notes. And I don't have the time to wait for 7 days to wait for a book from amazon.
C'mon anons, The Idiot or Demons?

Read The Idiot, it's not difficult.
>>9033940
Agree.

Between those two, read Idiot first.
Demons is actually more complicated than Karamazov, although Karamazov is better to save until later.
Also don't overlook his excellent shorter work, including The Double, The Gambler, and House of the Dead.
(Maybe you can also look into digital copies if you can't find physical copies, if that's an option for you)
