He probably wants the philosophical insight they can provide since they are more often than not referenced or influencing things everywhere. But most of them are arduous or generally shit reads. Tolstoy was absolute cancer.

Yeah and i forgot. And all the reading outwith the canon I have to do to or else people will resend me for going straight to the cannot books insead of pretending to read them due to taste.

>Well I had just finished reading harry potter one rainy day and picked up the first new book I saw. It was brothers Karamazov and I LUVVED IT!!! What a coincidence my taste turns out to be the same that publishing companies, academia, and the unthinking masses have been telling me to have xDDD!!!1

i wasn't mocking you because you read the canon, i was mocking you because you only read LeCanon: /lit/ edition.

I've read half of those authors and eventually found them to a man captivating (Chekhov's short stories in particular are laugh out loud funny), but I didn't always feel that way about all of them.
Likewise, none of those works did I love enough to reread anytime soon. There are plenty of books in the canon that you would do well to read after you have some living under your belt and can adequately compare your experiences with the characters'. If you're not enjoying a good book, you're probably not in the right state of mind for it. Have some life experiences and try again, or just try a different book.
