Svidrigailov (did I spell that right?) is kinda like the Judge from Blood Meridian. Kinda, not really. Anyways, I should finally be done this in 2-3 more sittings. :,-)

Hello! After about 5 months not reading (staring at screens instead), i’m sort of halfway back. I’ve been trying to fit a chapter a day in, but the quotidian nature of life seems to fuck me up. It’s hard, ok? But goddamn is the book so solid. I’m getting a bit anxious because gonna miss Razumikhin (Rodya too). Anyways, too all of my delco homies holding it down, reading 3 books a month, you are epic.

The only times i’ve been able to read full length novels uninterrupted was in elementary school. I would absolutely fuck up like three Percy Jackson books in a matter of days only to follow up and read the first generation of the Warrior books… now, i’m well past the second half of this book, but unable to consistently make progress. Wish me luck as I slowly finish this magnum opus… f*ck Lebeziatnikov… lol

For some reason, a confluence of personal ‘crises’ and changes left me yearning for some guidance. While I could have turned to the bible or the quran, and I decided to read this monster of a book.

I have trouble reading novellas, let alone normal novels, but for some reason haven’t had much trouble reading hundreds of pages of this in a few weeks.

Probably because Dostoyevsky is.. Dostoyevsky
