Dostoyevsky

I'm halfway through my first reading of Brothers Karamazov, a gaping hole in my education. Looking to fill it with anyone else in the neighborhood. Anyone out there interested in starting a weekly Dostoyevsky/Russian book club? Very low key, meet up at Sepia?

  • Kudos to you! I've made it through most of his major novels 2-3 times and am currently Fyodored out. Best wishes, though, and I admire your taste in literature.
  • If you were just starting, I'd join you. I'd need a partner with whom to set goals.
  • I'd be interested in this reading club, but meeting weekly seems contrary to low key. When do you expect to knock off the Karamazov Brothers?

    have read the brothers k? maybe we could start? We could have a cyber-club.
  • I would love to join you guys if you start the Brothers, or really any Dostoevsky. Read Crime and Punishment last winter—loved, and declared to read as much of his work as possible!
  • Are you going to be reading it in the original Klingon?

    no kidding... reading one of his novels in college was enough to fyodor me out permanently :wink:
  • I know what you mean. I think people either love or hate him. I read "Notes from Underground" for a book report in HS and got addicted from there.
  • well, i dont regret reading him, but i cant imagine re-reading him multiple times... maybe im just too ADD tho, lol...
