oh no i enjoyed
Diary of a Madman quite a bit, it was wonderful.
Dead Souls was just something i couldn't latch onto -- insurpassably boring, very predictable and not many themes worth considering. i've read Dostoevsky before so i'm very familiar with his style of prose, i've been told
The Brothers Karamazov is his best work.
if you're in need of notable Russian authors, you should give Nabokov a try.
Lolita is probably my current favorite book.
