What do you think is going to happen? It's a novel with characters and plot not a work by Hegel. Worst case you'll read it and not understand what makes you so great. But still, you'll know what it is about so if you keep reading good books and literary criticism you'll certainly understand after a few years.

I have played video games since I was 8 years old, I'm 24 in a week. I've played them all. I don't play games that I think will be mediocre, so I only beat around 400 or so.

dostoyevsky is not a genre and it's better to read in depth than going too wide

anyway if you want to decompress from it from some reason with something light and classic there's a million things you can try:

- go with the meme and read socrates apology, it's not 300 pages, it's shorter, and it's not a novel, but it's something you'll have to read at some point so you may as well get with it
- any kafka
- the stranger
- the sorrows of young werther
- heart of darkness
- animal farm
- the old man and the sea
- alice's adventures in wonderland
- ...

I've read all of Plato except for Parmenides and Timaeus.
>Kafka
I've read The Trial and Metamorphosis
>Animal Farm
Already read it and 1984
>Old Man in the Sea
Read this back in like 9th grade, I thought it was pretty boring but I was in the 9th grade.

And it would seem to me that Dostoevsky is pretty similar. Realist fiction set in mid 1800's Russia with a psychological slant.
