Notes From Underground

Signet Classics

Notes From Underground
Notes From Underground is a difficult but immensely gratifying and important read. Critics tend to refer to the Underground Man as a 'Mad Genius'; I beg to differ. He is the epitome of the average thinking human albeit with a shocking amount of self awareness. The ...

I LOVE Dostoevsky
If you love to read and you haven't read this yet, I don't know what the heck you're waiting for. This is one of my favorite books. Yes there are a lot of subplots and long monologs, but that is part of the beauty of it. At one point in the book he talks about a man ...
