Book 1 - notes from underground, 4/5
Superfluous man
Refused legacy
Feigned independence, a cheap façade, appearances are everything and nothing.
Sad man is sad.
Can woman bring him joy?
Woman can not bring him joy.
Oy.
Vovoy.
But in all seriousness, I'm actually enjoying this reading, this is my first dip into Dostoevsky but the writing is superb. I thought I'd get stuck in the mud somewheres

Poor People - 3/5. Eh, this was just broke, hopeless people having a thoroughly bad time. It picked up a bit at the end, but altogether I found it wanting.
