I just wanna start my reply sayin' that I really appreciate these threads and I'll come here in every single one of them because I really see the value in it.
That being said, I shall give my thoughts on the book; coincidentaly, I finished it a bit before the beginning of the voting pool.

>Anyways, what did you bots think of Notes from the Underground by Dostoevsky????
>Did you enjoy the process of reading/listening to it?
It was great, it's a simple and great short novel that really gives more desire to read more and look for moar Dosto stuff. It didn't make me feel bored or anything.

>Did you relate to the underground man? Cringe at him? Hate him? All of them?
Pretty much all of them. I was similar to him during my teen years (that description of the vulgarity of the school boys was just great), I now realize it was dumb and a waste of time and energy, that I was just coping by looking at the bad things of others and the world instead of focusing on being better myself. I was not cringing on the man, but who I was. I'm still kinda like him, but slowly improving.

>Did you find the book funny? Or sad?
Sad.

>Did you understand the schizobabble in part I? Did you understand part II? Did you give up on it?
I won't say I understood neither of it, but it was good and made me think.

>Any unrelated reflections you want to share?...
The MC was just not a religious man, not one blinded by the dumb anthropocentrism of the secular world, this idea that the clothed monkey is somehow a god that will solve everything with his "reason"; the underground man knew humans are not like that, we're moved by lust, animal desires, by the unconscious; we claim our independence from gods while worshipping idols such as "reason", "historical materialism", "the market", "progress" and many others. The hybris of the fools shall be punished by a man-made hell.

There are some other things I might have to say, maybe I'll share them later.
