recommended by a graduate tutor. said it was a book about a woman trying to enact social/cultural theory in her life. or incorporate theory into her life. or something along those lines. turned out to be a middle-aged woman acting like a pre-teen and wearing her knowledge like it was a vercace purse to be shown off for prestige points. i swear these people only go to graduate school for the cocktail parties.

the image is actually really funny because there are large sections of anna karenina where, for whatever ungodly reason, tolstoy goes into great depth on farming practices. they make up a really small portion of the book they're just kinda tedious to get through and really, really tangential. i think tolstoy was just like 'man i sure do love to farm but i gotta be a goddamn novel writer, oh well guess i'll just sneak this in'

Because unlike Dostoevsky who actually suffered Tolstoy was essentially 'hello my fellow peasants' and tried his hand at farm work and kissing up to serfs.

I actually interpreted the ending of the Meno as being ironic or sarcastic. At least that's what it seemed like to me, since that conclusion came really quickly and almost out of nowhere.
Usually the dialogues spend a long time defining things and posing each question, but the end of the Meno and the part about "correct opinions" seemed abrupt compared to the usual discourse.

Murakami is one author I've read like 5 books of, and I still don't know why. He isn't good. He's very, very boring. And Norwegian Wood is ESPECIALLY bad. Literally just a soyboy feeling sad and somehow getting a whole lot of pussy for no fucking reason.

Dimitri says in Karamazov 'If they drive God from earth we will shelter him underground' in reference to his imprisonment, and I always assumed that related to Dostoevsky's experience in the gulag. Kierkegaard and Dostoevsky both run the theme of the repentant sinner, that a real Christian has no real outward appearance or characteristic. Dostoevsky found this in the gulag among criminals and Kierkegaard found it through his solitary writing. The Underground man is the anti-hero and never reaches a conclusion, only to continue his life experiencing his conscious inertia because no action can be taken for a man of real intelligence, nothing can be settled outside 2+2=4.
