I have read brave new world and no longer human out of these
brave new world's writing was boring but the story was good
no longer human was interesting but felt unfulfilling

I started reading dosto with notes from the underground but the book felt boring and repetitive for a novella, couldn't finish it.
I have heard people say his other works are way better so I'll check crime and punishment out.

If you can't finish 120 pages just leave now. You won't finish 120 pages in C&P either.

The Picture of Dorian Gray. I read it last year when I was eighteen and it really gave me a new perspective on youth, vanity and what it means to be young. It kinda scared me, and made me think of my youth, and the process of aging in ways I never had before. I think I appreciate my youth a lot more after reading it.

I wish I had read these before I went off to college. I would have been so much more open to the ideas of the word and the vast scope of knowledge as an end in and of itself.

If I could do it all over again…
