His work is stunning. He plunges the deep darky depths of the human soul yet has a way of redeeming nearly every one of his characters some how.

Crime and Punishment is also a favourite of mine.

Notes on the Underground is certainly a precursor to Fight Club, and in many ways far superior.

The Idiot is heartbreaking.

I'm just about to begin, The Devils. What are people's opinions on that one (without giving away too much).

Because you said this thread "pissed" you off I almost cried.. then I started reading and um, yeah.. LOLz..

His books aren't going anywhere, so don't drown yourself yet slugger. There's always redemption in Dostoyevksy
