The Brothers Karamazov

Fyodor Dostoevsky, 1879 Date (not) Read: 10/18/22

Listen. I really tried. I made it about halfway through the novel. But I just cannot.

Two-and-a-half-chapter long monolog with incredibly graphic descriptions of violence against children, all to illustrate why the speaker doesn't believe in God or God's creation or something. I don't know. I tried to stick with it and understand the point but there didn't seem to be one.

And so, this very long and very Russian novel becomes the 5th Did Not Finish on the LLL.

Length: unknown; I was reading it as part of a "greatest novels" collection on Kindle

Rereadability:

Classic: people say so?
