Dostoevsky

Post by bohonato » September 25th, 2008, 3:41 pm

I'm reread Notes and am in the middle of Crime and Punishment again. I would seriously learn Russian solely to read him. My father's side of the family is Russian, so I grew up around Dostoevsky and Tolstoi and the rest of them, but Dosty has always been my favourite.

Though I think I should be mildly worried about how much I relate to his (anti) heroes. Even worse, I don't really like his anti-heroes. So that relate + dislike = things about myself I dislike? (as this little Russian lady I know would say, that realization is the most important revolution on can have.)

I'm going to go glare at pedestrians and mutter under my breath while waiting for the bus.

Take all in then write it all down. But don't go crazy during the process.
