"I think it was G.K. #Chesterton who wrote a wonderful essay on the fact that the Great #Books are often, themselves, eminently readable, and it’s only the lesser interpretations of them that are difficult, and require (further) interpretation by professional academic interpreters."

Dostoyevsky isn’t difficult

Other than the names. The names are difficult.

🎭 So, #Dostoyevsky isn't tough, eh? Just another casual read between episodes of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," except for those pesky Russian names that transform your brain into a bowl of #borscht 🍲. But don't worry, clutching a chunky paperback like a literary accessory totally counts as reading 📚.

Just finished ‘Notes From Underground’ - it was a bit crap. Sorry #Dostoyevsky fans 🫣

Love this #quote by #Dostoyevsky:

Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.
