Did literature peak with him? Rank what you've read

Nabokov is always right:

Dostoevsky, Fyodor. Dislike him. A cheap sensationalist, clumsy and vulgar. A prophet, a claptrap journalist and a slapdash comedian. Some of his scenes are extraordinarily amusing. Nobody takes his reactionary journalism seriously.
The Double. His best work, though an obvious and shameless imitation of Gogol's "Nose."
The Brothers Karamazov. Dislike it intensely.
Crime and Punishment. Dislike it intensely. Ghastly rigmarole.

Literature never peaked. It's just been declining towards total entropy.

i started briefly with the white nights when i was a teen, years later i fully immersed in notes and c&p; i've been stalling in karabroz recently because i developed the ugly habit of picking several books at the same time, but my attention span left me alone

Crime and Punishment
Raskólnikov is literally me

Fedor Dostoyevsky > Hermann Hesse

just a reminder

3) The double / Short stories

The powergap between C&p and the rest is significant.

Yes.
(I've yet to read Demons)
1. C&P
2. TBK
3. Idiot / Notes from Underground
4. All the rest - Poor Folk & Other stories, The Eternal Husband and Other Stories, The Gambler, The Double.

Everything he wrote is worth reading and re-reading.

Hesse doesn't even hold a candle to Dost, and I don't think anyone will ever claim otherwise.
