Dostoevsky how I love you. Actually I don't think I've read the other selections in this volume--I should, I will--but 'Notes from Underground:' a classic and longtime favorite.

recommends it for:
misanthropes, romantics
notes is a classic misanthropy rant. white nights is typical downer russian stuff, but very well written. the dream of a ridiculous man is a little weird

The Pevear/Volokhonsky translation is better, but this collection has a few other really good short stories, especially "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man."

Profound, depressing and absolutely indulgent. It has to be one of the best stories/ essays on life ever written.

Why, yes, I should say I like the novella "White Nights": I'm composing a ballet based on it.
