...Dostoevsky was on of her favority authors (mine too).

She said about reading Dostoevsky, (I'm not quoting), it's like being led through a lunatic asylum by a very powerful guide. (I can find the quote if you'd like it.)

She did appreciate Dostoevsky's writing and powerful plotting, but I think she short-changed him a little. One aspect of Dostoevsky that many people fail to appreciate is his wonderful subtle sense of humor. Humor was not Rand's strong point so that may be why she failed to appreciate it in others.

I do not meet many who appreciate Dostoevsky. So glad you mentioned it.

I started reading "The Brothers Karamazov" one day....and found it impossible to put down. It took me a couple of months to read it because I had to re-read so many pages. Come to think of it, I think it is time to read that one again!
