No. I read the brothers Karamazov and The Idiot when I was in the program. I enjoyed them both a lot but that's all I've read by him. I tried reading crime and punishment years prior but I got bored and didn't make it very far in. I remember looking at notes from the Underground when I was looking for books to order in the program and I picked The Idiot instead.
