The Idiot
So I finished The Idiot last night. My mind is still processing everything, but as usual the last 20 pages were a disappointment to me. I think maybe I'm not a very literary kind of guy, because I'm never satisfied with the ending; well, I can't really say never. At least with both of Dostoevsky's books that I have recently read (Brothers Karamazov and The Idiot). Overall though, I thoroughly enjoyed the book and would recommend it, only don't read the back of the book, or the introduction by some other guy: they're wrong, or at least misleading.
