I've just struck the point where I've realised that this is going to be a brilliant novel (weld, duh). Old Fyodor doesn't hurry his hurry the pace and I'm now acquainted with the histories of about 15 characters that I've forgotten... but I'm intrigued by this drama of family rivalry and brilliant - sometimes hilarious - religious philosophy. Can't wait for the shit to hit the fan in later chapters.

For Dostoyevsky all men are deeply flawed, selfish individuals. All women are whores with hearts of gold who offer the men redemption.

Well, he's 50% right.

These days the less I understand something the more I like it. This is not the book I expected to read and somehow that intrigues and interests me. Fyodr shifts styles from light to dense, philosophical to romantic at the drop of a hat all the while hinting at what's to come and teasing out the larger picture. A fucking difficult read. I'm hooked.
