Dostoevsky

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.
