Just finished the "Delirium" chapter, where Mitya spends all of his money treating everyone in the inn to an "orgy" of a feast, which ends with him being accused and arrested. Although I've been completely captivated and awed the entire way through, this was the moment where I decided that this may be one of the handful of truly top-tier books in history (although I've only read so many). Anyone else have a similar or different experience?

after recently suffering from paranoid delirium driven hallucinations I re-read this chapter and it really struck a nerve

I was also blown away by that chapter. I think I even preferred it to the vaunted philosophical chapters.
I've always been fond of party scenes in literature though. Maybe it has something to do with the sensory overload, the blur of social interactions, but parties seem to be fertile ground for great prose.

so fucking good.

>party scenes good
Agreed. I love writing them too. I'll shave vague ass party scene drugged up nonsense into anything.
Why has The Brothers Meme suddenly popped up around /lit/?
