The Adolescent (Norton Paperback)
by Fyodor Dostoevsky
I thought "The Adolescent" and "The Idiot" were two different translations of the same book. They are not :(

As my friend Scott said, "You would read a book by Dostoevsky called 'The Adolescent?!'" Pretty angsty stuff, but it captures all the idealism, fanaticism, and sheer stupidity of adolescence to perfection...although considering the author, I wouldn't expect anything less than a joltingly accurate portrayal of human nature at any stage of life. It's not light reading, but definitely worthwhile if you have the time and patience for it.
