Status Updates From الأبله، الجزء الأول

It is a difficult book, not because it is hard to understand but because it is hard not to get bored by it. There is no plot, not an ounce of suspense, and not even a clear character development. Dostoevsky is simply contemplating what would happen if an utterly good and honest man lived in a modern society. He mainly explores the themes of justice and religion. Personally this book doesn't speak to me.

I like the fact that there is a lot of implicit information. This book requires deep thinking and focus. It can be challenging at times. Nonetheless, I still can't quite fathom where this story is going. If you love this book, I would very much like to know why !

I am fighting the urge to DNF 😭
