A friend has been telling me to read Dostoyevsky quite a while. Gnetly, but i can tell he meant it v super seriously.

Anyone have opinion on a good book to start with? Otherwise ill just jump in on that prison experience one. Sounds like the soul spark for me rn.

And after carving that prophetic wisdom into the door of the universe, she rightfully was so fulfilled. Retired into the Crack and focused energy on trying to top that classic

Nietzsche!

Shadow banned from lego world for the flimsiest "reasons".
At least its helpful cos if you meet someone who talks about N sincerely, hey! i might make a new friend here.
 
A few of my absolute favorites:
  • Kurt Vonnegut
  • Hunter S. Thompson
  • Chuck Palahniuk
I enjoyed Nietzsche and Dostoyevsky when I read Beyond Good and Evil and the first quarter of Brothers Karazamarov at age 14. Plan to return to them soon, but I haven’t read enough of either to count them as favorites at the moment.
