the fact that Dostoyevsky himself gave me a sign to live like was this a sign?? because it has got to be; I definely read this in the right time of my life and it definitely was not just a confidence...I can relate to the "madman" a lot but most of all, I just really loved the writing and the philosophical musings in there as well as the psychological elements...

***yapping continued in next update

i can't compare it to White Nights; i am not a religious person but it would be a sin to compare it to White Nights; they are both so different and so wholly glorious in all the glory ahhhhhhhhh....

obviously I will reread it as I was kinda half-asleep at one point and was not really alert for most of it except for the last 3 or so pages....anyhow it is still just so uhhghbxxxxx hopeful?? nah idk

I cannot and WILL NOT rate this; it is simply unratebale

what did you do to me Dostoevsky?? I was kinda half asleep at one point idk why not because it was boring certainly not but I think bc I was in a sort of lying position but wtv

I have no actual words...

ok here I come!!

just ignore the fact that I have two books still on my current reading shelfff

helpppsjfsfx

anyways so excited to start this today but it'll probably not be as good as White nights tho....but knowing Dostoevsksy, he can surprise me with anything and the title sounds so intriguing!!

ignore my ramblings at 12am yesterday

jkjk its all good

oh what I would do to read dostoevsky for the first time again...
