" I had forgotten just how much I love Dostoevsky until I finally sat down with Notes from the Underground. Written as a sort of memoir from a man who styles himself poor, despicable, and painfully self-aware, this isn't the kind of book I would read to relax - at several points I was uncomfortable enough that I had to put it down and come back later. As with so much of Dostoevsky's work, though, it's a marvelous vehicle for thoughts on the human condition and the ways man reacts to himself. I'll be rereading this one at some point; this is definitely the kind of book that gets better with repetition. "
