I've watched the movie adaptation and absolutely loved it, is the book really that good?
Is it big? How hard to grasp? Asking because of the meta narratives (stories within stories within stories within stories etc).

The Karamazov Brothers.

Mister Funn, you're going to be fined again!

this is mandatory reading

I prefer the book

>is it big?
quite

>how hard to grasp?
Not very imo, it's fun and beautifully written from a literacy standpoint. The only difficulty is keeping up with the plot that is so complex that you're a few hundred pages in and realise that you're reading a story within a story within a story within a story within a story within a, which can get disorienting as you can imagine, but it's such a joy to go through that it never becomes a slog

utterly based

your ELO is over 1900 and you'd beat me if we played

No one rated my book :C

Comeday morm and, O, you're vine! Sendday's eve and, ah you're vinegar!

Is this just Ivan Ilych?

...

I was super disappointed by "On a winters..."
Heard the barron in the trees was better.
Should I give it a shot if I didnt like the other book or nah?

You spend too much time on the Internet.

The baron in the trees is his worst, read the nonexistant knight

The death of Ivan Ilych is a novella by Tolstoy, this is a novel

cool

I can't find it anywhere. You got an amazon or goodreads link somewhere?

...

Perfect for short train rides.

Unironically this, just something about it captivates me and transports me into the story.

Maybe I'm autistic who knows.

honestly, this one, even though it is so overpopular.

or Anna Karenina

2/10
you're a tryhard who deludes yourself into thinking you don't care what others think of you even though that is everything to you.

You're an existentialist Christian
9/10

...

8.5/10
you strive to see the good in others that's generally overlooked or misunderstood

>Christian
Atheist (on paper at least).
>tryhard
Possibly.
>deludes yourself into thinking you don't care what others think of you even though that is everything to you.
I do know that I care a lot about what people know of me, probably too much. I certainly never tried to convince myself that I don't care.
How did you come to that conclusion?

6/10, narcissistic and atavistic,
8.5/10, high elo
7/10, inferiority complex from encountering eco's work
1/10, the only way you could like this book would be if you read the original, try-hard poser
9/10, genuinely religious
8/10, exceptionally banal but highly intelligent
0/10, you like oprah
6/10, you're entranced by his gorgeous prose but after several rereads his excessive prosody will tire you with familiarity (the same thing happens with nabokov)
8.3/10, weeaboo
9.4/10, scatological, has experienced a lock-in

Brothers Karamazov

You're 18 to 20 years old and this is the only novel you've read that hadn't been assigned to you in school.

Holy shit, how did you know

...

>inferiority complex from encountering eco's work
wut

You're an idiot

Lmao because we've all been there. Dostoe Hemingway and Steinbeck is great starter lit

I don't think I have a favorite.

Maybe Savage Detectives.
