Is this unwise, since the book is about a huge misanthropic asshole?
First of all - congratulations on your wonderful picrelated choices, nowocioto.
What do the interviewers generally say after such a remark, considering the fact that they probably have not even heard of Notes from the Underground?
No, just make sure that when the interview goes to shake your hand you shouldercheck him into his office door, to demonstrate that you aren't a pussy-ass faggot like the protagonist. Bosses like outgoing employees.

Some say they've read it, others just remark that they haven't heard of it.
>pretending like job interviews ask you about your hobbies to make this convoluted of a shit post
le upvote reddit suxxx
The interviewer probably doesn't care about what you read. If he thinks reading is a hobby that relates with the abilities required for the job, then he'll be happy.
Unless you say something really stupid like Mein Kampf or Twilight...
It is a huge mistake. Pick a book from the Reddit top 10 and they will smile and say "ahh great taste anon!! I remember reading that in highschool! I loved it!! xDD

Haha too funny
I've never been asked what my favorite book is in a job interview .. but that begs the question
would saying War and Peace or Crime and Punishment be a better idea than Gravity's Rainbow or Women and Men?

If it begs the question, isn't the answer obvious?
A:GR, Ulysses, IJ :^)
>implying any job interviewers even know what Notes from the Underground is about
To respond to your question, though, it probably is unwise. I always play it safe and say Anna Karenina.

War and Peace is probably the safest bet there is.
