Demons by Dostoevsky
I haven't read any of his work before and thought I might as well try some more classic, regarded literature. It's interesting so far, bunch of intellectuals talking for the most part. I can't put my finger on why but I do like it. Previously I haven't really enjoyed classical works. I hate Peepeeens and Shakespeare.
Recently finished Spillover about zoonotic viruses. Interesting concept, and at times I really liked it. He suffered from going on and on way too long about certain things. The book needed a good 15-20% haircut and it would have been great.
It took me by complete surprise the day I discovered people unironically read an r-slur like Dostoevsky. I thought his books were just for that "Pinterest aesthetic reading" search results given he's the male equivalent of chick lit.
!bookworms is it fair game to tell a guy when he says he's reading DOStablosky

Noooo, nooo don't read books because r-slurs use them for aesthetics. Noooo.
Keep yourself safe cute twink. I don't care if it's the Russian version of Chick Lit. It's supposed to be good and interesting so I'm giving it a shot.
Noooo, nooooo your reading taste doesn't adhere enough to what I or 4chan, or serious alt lit influencers believe. Noooooo.
I'm reading Brothers Karamazov. Yes, Dostoevsky has many quasi neurodivergent characters who enjoy monologuing but he can still be entertaining and funny on a dark way. There are some valid literary criticisms of his style but he's absolutely worth reading and he gives a great glimpse into 19th century Russian life.

Yeah I filtered books which are dreamt up by some crackhead depressed boy.
I guess lit books are for people who are unhappy with their lives, careers etc and want to escape. I never had the urge you know

Why are you seething? Is this a side effect of reading Dostoevsky?
