I’m so over this book

In this section, Ivan puts forth an argument against a higher power that I’ve often thought of, although it’s so much better articulated here. I’m excited to find out Dostoevsky’s response to this.

This book is like when you start a new game and just do side quests, completely ignoring the main quest line. I know someone will eventually die. But when will it happen.

Hmmm very interesting. Lowkey a bit Vonnegutian in style.

The passage around pg. 93 is a beautifully written account of perseverance. Loved it.

So good so far. But, Hemingway, would it kill you to add a couple page breaks here and there?

I thought I’d love this book but I don’t like it and I want to be done with it.
