I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I wanted to love this book so much. I tried so hard to get through it, I swear I did! But I'm on page 117 and I can't do it anymore. It's become such a burden.
It's the ramblings that make me hate it. There's so little action (is there even a plot?) and too much talking. And most of it's hot air. I don't care if the character is supposed to be talkative, noisy, and obnoxious. You can get those qualities across without spending 4 pages reciting their word-for-word spew about themselves.
Any possible mind-shattering point that the author might have had in this book was so far buried under grueling rants that I couldn't dig them up.
There are over 700 pages in this book. I made it about 1/7th of the way through (in about 6 months) before deciding I just couldn't take it anymore.

hello?
I realize this is a troll but the thought of someone reading 100 pages in 6 months and calling it shit is funny

I don't understand how can you not love this fucking book.
You're triggering me.

Damn, my buddy just gave me a copy of this and Crime and Punishment out of his huge book lot he just acquired. First time posting on this board, I assume this is high tier shit for /lit/ then? I look forward to reading it.

I personally like it, but i can understand why some people don't. It also not my kind of literature, but i find the characters incredible.

If you're a 12 year old or reddit then maybe
It's just a book man, granted though it is Dostoevsky's magnum opus so before you start it make sure to read his other works.
Should I save TBK for last?

yes

It's an entry level read, it's high tier for r/books.

It's a fantastic book, don't listen to those pseudo-intellecutal contrarians.
It was originally meant to be read out to Russian villagers, but there's so much charm and understanding (Dostoevsky had a very interesting life) and a very human exploration of Christian themes, that it really just transcends all of that.
I'm guessing this is pasta from r/books
