@SW-User valuable points. Thanks for sharing them 😊

@SW-User Me too!

@MarkPaul yes it is considered as Dostoevsky‘s the best

@MarkPaul What would you say is the main lesson within it?

@JohnnySpot This is what I love about re-reading a book over a span of years. In high school, I related most to the lesson of how alienation from society can lead to actions and behaviour that ultimately become a burden and society and circumstances are to blame.

Only a few years later, the lesson became more about how it can often seem like we are thrust into situations and circumstances beyond our control while in reality we have choices all along the way even though those choices, or any choices at all, are not often obvious.

@RainyDaze wow great to know that you & your son both liked it. It is indeed a great book

@MartinII reading old books is very comforting right?

@VeganMoumita But this particular book is incredibly dreary.....

@JohnnySpot Dreary? Dark, but not dreary.

@VeganMoumita What I loved the most was just getting lost in the story and the characters. I felt like I had lived in Russia, learned some insight in what it meant to be Russian, at least during the time period, after reading his novels.

@RuyLopez agreed

@VeganMoumita @RuyLopez
Okay a very good authentic setting but none of the characters are likable. Even the ones that may be likeable aren't likable because they're helping this guy for no reason.

@ChipmunkErnie great

@Gusman thanks for the recommendation

@GentleLucille glad that you enjoyed the book 😊

@GentleLucille Hi :). I want to ask something but dont want to ask it publicly so anyone can see coz some people might make fun of me. Would appreciate it if youll send me a message so i can replay you with my question (coz for some reason i can't message first). Thanx :).

@Freetime that’s why Dostoevsky is famous for right?

@come2gether true. There are lot of things to learn 😊

@MichaelT Hi :). I want to ask something but dont want to ask it publicly so anyone can see coz some people might make fun of me. Would appreciate it if youll send me a message so i can replay you with my question (coz for some reason i can't message first). Thanx :).

@MichaelT thank you 😊

@Royricky09 thank you so much

@JohnnySpot what do you mean? I didn’t get you

@VeganMoumita It seemed to me that everybody was always trying to help that guy that killed somebody for no reason.

@jshm2 there’s so much to learn from the book. And reading books is a great practice. Those who can’t I feel sorry for them
