I had to read this in my first year of uni for an English class, and tbh, I think it was the only book in the class I read all the way through. It’s definitely a more intense read, and I know a lot of people who don’t really love the writing style (especially the English version) but idk I really loved it! I think about that book so often and I’ll definitely read it again.

(I'm recing it for the second time in 24 hours.)
Check out "The Idiot" by Dostoevsky. It's about Prince Myshkin, a genuinely good guy who returns to Russia and finds himself tangled in love and social drama. I just finished it yesterday and it’s so good—a deep dive into what it means to be truly good in a complicated world. Dostoevsky’s characters and insights will definitely stick with you. Totally worth the read!

finished reading it a few days ago and it's still taking over my brain. while i was reading i was already really invested in raskolnikov and razumikhin's storyline and i spent most of the book with the idea in my head that it was showing what could've been a meaningful connection that gets cut short by folly, so i was really affected when raskolnikov said his last goodbyes to everyone. what made the book especially memorable to me was that it was not at all as dark and hopeless as i had been conditioned to expect by the title and its rep online.. the moment i realized that there was actually light at the end of the tunnel it immediately cemented itself in my 5 star hall-of-fame.

For a book written in 1848, it stands the test of time impecably. It's only 87 pages and it's a dream to read. The characters remind me of me and so it provoked my brain and actions and made me actually think about my life. I finished the book literally 3 minutes ago
