So while experiencing the adventure that is clinical depression I've found myself delving deeper and deeper into a bunch of philosophical questions that only an angsty teenager like myself would ask.

I've been doing some pre-reading for Dostoyevsky's Notes from the Underground and I was hoping to hear Revleft's two cents on it.

I read it some years ago.

Would recommend it.

(Yeah, great collaboration, I know)

Why can't 2 + 2 = 5? is all I remember of it. I thought it interesting that Orwell picked that up... I need to read it again.

I remember really enjoying, but haven't read it in a long time.
I like Crime and Punishment.

My favourites are Crime and Punishment and The Idiot. I'd like to read The Gambler. Never been amble to get far with the Devils or the Brothers Karamazov -- too many characters!

Rosa Luxemburg pointed out that the more right wing he got the greater he became.

I appreciate this from Luxemburg:
Dostoyevsky’s novels are furious attacks on bourgeois society, in whose face he shouts: The real murderer, the murderer of the human soul, is you!

Pretty groundbreaking in terms of literary history, and a badass read for any person delving into depression induced philosophizing like an angsty teen.
