i havent read since high school but felt like doing it

reading notes from underground, i really dont see much connection between part 1 and part 2... is there supposed to be one or am i just dumb and missing it entirely?

In terms of 1:1 things, ie, things he talks about in part 1 come back in part 2, no, there's no connection. however, the stuff he does in part 2 is pretty consistent with the ideas of part 1; he wouldn't have done the things he did in part 2 if he wasn't sick and spiteful

That's not how it works. You can't just pick a book up and read it.

I'd recommend you find yourself a book on how to read efficiently and practically.

Part 1 is the explanation to the behavior/mentality of the protagonist in part 2. That way you don't say "why is he doing that? Why would he say that? Why does he act like that?" he already told you why. Last chapter is a good enough resolution to answer lingering questions

why not? i read alot in high school and i have to honor my ruski heritage somehow

can you just actually contribute instead of
>muh favorite books being read by casuals oh no muh image

I got that much but is that really it? i remember hearing how hard this book was i thought i wouldnt be able to get anything

Dostoyevsky is not difficult to read. Tedious, maybe. Dry at times and long-winded, but he doesn't challenge your aptitude as a reader.
He wrote for the people, not the academics

What does this have to do with anything?
Anyhow, I wasn't telling you to not start with Dostoevsky (I've never even read anything by him), I was telling you that you can't jus transition from easy readings to scholastics reading.

A good indication is , which shows you that you have poor reading comprehension are are probably rushing throughout the book like it's a race or reading it like a nail and forgetting parts despite reviewing them multiple times.

I'm serious, learn to read beforehand, otherwise you'll miss out.

Please don't listen to this.

just read and enjoy the books. Have patience (at first). Have imagination. Have intelligence. Have some snacks maybe a bev
