Is Dostoevsky good?
>>8171568
It depends, for me sometimes it's a little slow.
Depends. If you're reading for plot, no.
If your reading for characters and reflection, he's one of the best.
>>8171568
Dislike him. A cheap sensationalist, clumsy and vulgar. A prophet, a claptrap journalist and a slapdash comedian. Some of his scenes are extraordinarily amusing. Nobody takes his reactionary journalism seriously.
>>8171579
pretty much this.

Crime and Punishment made me feel like I was going insane along with the character. It was great. To me his books were always mentally taxing but rewarding at the same time. Imo he is not at all an author that you pick up and read before bed but rather one specifically allocate time to.

Go to bed Nabby
He a bad bitch

Is this going to be posted in every thread now?
This book actually made me cry. I get tears in my eyes just thinking about it. Not his "best" work but I was shocked how much it made me feel.

Is there a polemic againat N.'s view of dosto written by a good literary critic?
>>8171568
Most of his books have like five competing plot lines wherein the 'main' plot could be expressed in a fifth of the space, so if you like that (I love it) he's good. There's a shitton of psychology in his works so you really have to immerse yourself in it
>>8172510
No, because any serious literary critic agrees with Nabokov.

>>8172511
this is not even true
>>8172545
What isn't true
>>8172545
form what i've read, there really aren't 5 plot lines
>>8171607
Yeah, that book got my heart rate up a few times. It also was one of the few books to ever make me cry.
>>8171568
the best
I cant think of no other major classic writer that is more relevant nowadays

you missed Dostoevskij's threads in the last 2 years or more
>>8172744
I agree

Eventually, after a topic (author, book, whatever) has been meme'd enough, the threads begin to write themselves. I'm not sure exactly how to articulate what's going on... But it's kind of fascinating, because it leads to thread death.
Remember the read/expected/got threads? Eventually the threads would be autofilled with memes (eg. Corn) and inevitably someone would reply with the "it's not corn it's wheat" copypasta. And so on.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor.
Dislike him. A cheap sensationalist, clumsy and vulgar. A prophet, a claptrap journalist and a slapdash comedian. Some of his scenes are extraordinarily amusing. Nobody takes his reactionary journalism seriously.
The Double. His best work, though an obvious and shameless imitation of Gogol's "Nose."
The Brothers Karamazov. Dislike it intensely.
Crime and Punishment. Dislike it intensely. Ghastly rigmarole.
