>going to read Devils by Dostoevsky
You're probably aware of this, but you might want to read a bit on the political, spiritual climate of Russia in the mid-19th century (Orthodox Russian Christianity vs. atheism, Slavophilism vs. cosmopolitanism, nihilism, revolutionary groups etc.). It'll make that book way, way easier to understand. But this is a topic that Dostoevsky already covers in his other books although to a less literal extent.

I only ever posted here from time to time but I'm trying to commit as it encourages me to read and write more.
