"We're making slow and steady progress!
We've finally met Fedka the Convict! He reminds me of if Dobby and Smerdyakov (from Brother's K) merged into one. Talk about a cross-cultural comparison.
Also wanted to share a quote that will probably end up on my Substack:
"It must be true that the whole second half of a man's life is most often made up only of his habits accumulated during the first half."" — 4 hours, 40 min ago

"As much as I'd love to just grind through this, it is not a book that can be sped through. I find myself returning to it often, if only for a few segments of Pessoa's prose. It speaks to me at different times, but I find if I read too much of it at once, it does get very dark and depressing. At certain times in my most formative years I found solace in this, but now it often brings me down!" — Feb 12, 2026 10:11AM
