I just finished The Meek One, or did it finish me?
I am onto Bobok before I finish off with the last story in it.
But dostoyevsky really said, you are screaming with me into the void with me. But I do have a feeling, the chronology/sequence should be reversed because the amount of monologue torture I went through to discover inertia at the end of it. I will happily re-visit the dream that makes me dream of humanity.

The way he writes.
And its almost like you know what will happen,
yet you stick to this journey with him and his placing of words and the psyche of it all.
What do you not have up your sleeve, Mr. Dostoyevsky?

The tension. The drama. Goodness. But something terribly wrong for him to write somethings, but I guess he was writing for a character, and we know the tyranny of it all anyways.

"Youth is always magnanimous, if only ever so slightly and ever so distortedly."

Want to put a wall mural of the beauty that is contained within a dream manifesto written amidst this starting few 30 pages.

Dear dostoyevsky, oh how you love the world. But more so, how you have always wanted to love humanity. I am thinking of you and your dear heart.

Thank you for dreaming this dream, because like you, i am a ridiculous man

I read the gnarly and confusing introduction by the translator only to arrive at the same conclusive point, and in my opinion, that's a genius introduction.

Oh boy, I finally have calmed the narrow channels of water to get to Dostoevsky's final work, just one year before his death. And while it's a novel in its construct, it's supposed to contain his entire life. Let's see what it holds.

Part 1 & salvation is due.
