How funny. Usually Catholics are not fond of Feodor.
Have you read Brothers Karamazov?

Have you read Brothers Karamazov?Have I read Brothers Karamazov? I have no doubts its the greatest work of fiction ever written. Although it's hard for me to not rate The Possessed as highly. I only regret I can't read it again for the first time. Every Christian should read Karamazov. Every person who lives in the modern world should.
When I was a sophmore in college, I read Crime and Punishment during spring break. After I read that, it was all she wrote. I had to read every single thing he ever wrote. Some of the stories were no longer in print so I had to find them in libraries. I was able to order The Village of Stepanchikovo.

Well, I haven't heard a lot of that, but there were a few instances where his characters criticize Catholicism. But it didn't bother me, because the image of Catholicism Dostoevsky saw, was that it was almost like a nonsecular communism. Reading Dostoevsky only strengthened my faith- by a lot. He was a genius, who seen what the modern world offered, and drank of cynicism- but he was a complete believer in the truth of Christianity.
