Not a huge fan of Dostoevsky interrupting his murder mystery with an episode of the Lil Rascals.

In Crime and Punishment, FD invents Columbo. In Karamazov, he invents Phoenix Wright.

Halfway done, and the plot has started!

ew he kissed his brother on the lips

Gosh only 600 pages to go

In which Father Karamazov does his best Rodney Dangerfield impression…

A theme is emerging in these short stories: Women of A Certain Age are confronted with exciting, new possibilities, consider them, and say “not for me, thanks.”

Giving a character a full-on Danganronpa death is the highest honor FD can give one of his characters.

Dostoevsky invented Columbo and the concept of NPCs in the same chapter!

THE TITULAR CRIME HAS OCCURRED

“I am happy the leaves are growing large so quickly.

Soon they will hide the neighbor and her screaming child.”

“I have the idea that soon I will no longer believe my feelings are the center of everything. This is a real comfort to me.”

Part 6 becomes Part 7 on page 670. Okay.

Great, she’s a morphine addict now

“Anna Karenina f*cks around and finds out”

“Levin suddenly became aroused at these words because in the depths of his soul he was afraid it was true - true that he wanted to balance between communism and the established forms and that this was hardly possible.”

Tolstoy’s stand-in says in the middle of an 800-page book: “For him words took away the beauty of what he saw.” Okay dude.

Tolstoy is like “these socialites, whom I hate and all believe these things which are very stupid, had a beautiful social gathering”

“For my dog”:

Buried / unable to hear the autumn wind

A guy literally falls onto his beanbag and is immediately shot and stabbed to death

“Just think what a time it is now! And you and I are living it these days! Only once in eternity do such unprecedented things happen.”

Was not expecting “and that’s when I became……… no longer human…..”
