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.
This has been in my stack forever and I need to get to it. I’ve read The Idiot and loved it. It’s so ridiculous at times it gave me Arrested Development vibes. It was unexpectedly funny.
I think the translation I had wasn’t great, I did not find it funny but just boring. Only Dostojevski book I didn’t particularly like
