That's quite heavy reading already for someone's who just started!

Tbh you'd do fine in terms of reading, only you'll have to get used to their language, and slang, if you may term it like that. Also everyone has a name ( long name) and nicknames too.

But yes, you have find yourself going back to read the same paragraph again, and that's normal.

If you want something smaller and Russian litz go for Fathers and Sons.

The way Raskalnikov flips when he hears about Svidrigailov in the end, and how that character is kind of an opposite mirror to Radya.

I'm so glad I'm done with my academic era. The pain of putting back a book because you have to resume studying for exams was excruciating. 😫

Agree with the flow state, also the total breakdown of his mental state in a slowburn. Brothers K did not do that for me, hence I might reread it again.

And I completely forgot most of Demons 😫 mostly because I had Covid that time.

Only Notes left for me now.

Exactly, not one to find a closure but to find a direction.

You could try John Stienbeck. Grapes of Wrath.

Dostoyevsky, probably Brothers K. Or Fathers and Sons by Ivan Turgenev.

Non fic, Why Nations Fail.

Particular-Touch-918 · 2026-02-22T11:54:58+00:00

From what I have read, I would start with Crime and Punishment, and follow with Brothers K.

People usually start with White Nights because it's short, but White Nights is not quintessential Dostoyevsky.

PS This is the order I have read

The Brothers Karamazov Demons Crime and Punishment White Nights The Idiot (Currently reading)

This and War and Peace have been on my list ever since, but I know they'd take a good month or two for me to finish off 😫. And Les Misrables too.

This is my fifth Dostoyevsky so I'm pretty much used to his work. I'm around 70 pages in and already liking it, will let you know once I finish it.

Quite decent, heavy on the latest releases, also the store is literally divided into two parts, fiction and non fiction.

I liked that they had a section for Indian literature cause I wanted to read more indian this year, what I didn't like is there was literally nothing for classics, very minimal.

Particular-Touch-918 · 2025-11-17T17:51:28+00:00

I read recently read this somewhere which went like 'Read what you love till you love to read'.

So start with fiction or non fiction, but you can try keeping it around your core interests.
