I am reading The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky (P&V translation). About 20% through. It’s starting to get interesting as the characters start to take shape. Till now I have read and enjoyed the P&V translations of both Crime and Punishment and Demons. This is a huge book and I am looking forward to enjoying this for a while! I am just excited and wanted to read other people’s thoughts.

    I loved that book! It was my introduction to Russian literature. I found the naming of characters confusing at first, but after a bit I got used to every character having at least three different calling names.

    At some point, there is a quite long-winded philosophical chapter, don’t get discouraged!
