Part II Book IV: Woolf compared Dostoevsky’s novels to ‘seething whirlpools’. This one is no exception. As I get acquainted with the Dostoyevskian abyss of the human soul for the second time (the first one being Crime and Punishment), I can only marvel at the sheer brilliance of the writer to have come up with such leviathan as well as soulful characters.

I have profound respect for Alyosha. He's someone that I can just aspire to be. Bring the embodiment of patience and compassion in a world torn with turmoil, Alyosha emerges as a beacon of peace amidst chaos. I don't know if his extreme selflessness is to be condemned but guided by the teachings of his mentor, Father Zossima, he struggles from one end to the other to bring peace and resolve to everyone's mind.

Reading Dostoyevsky is an experience in its own right!

I really like the word “smitten”. because at first glance you just think of sappy lovey-dovey stuff but also you have to remember this is a word that’s born of the word “smite.” a devastating word. a word that, summarized, means stricken. smitten means stricken as well — struck with devastating affection.

hello! whose translation of brothers karamazov did you read? Also which ones are the best translations for dosto in general?

Hello 🤗 My copy is Andrew MacAndrew. I like it and it's fairly good to go with. In bookstagram, people have often told me that the Garnett and Pevear & Volokhonsky translations are the best. I suggest you to go with the one which suits your reading.

✨ a few books i hope to read in 2024 ✨

last year, i read 57 books. thanks to master's, i read a diverse range of works. i usually switch between mindful reading and planned reading every year. last year, i had a set reading goal and a monthly reading tracker. this year, i would be reading books, minus any fixed number.

I had started the brothers karamazov, another complex work by dosto, but sadly couldn't finish in 2023. so this year, i will finish reading it. and this year, i also hope to finish reading all of austen's novels.

what's your reading resolutions for the year?
