Neka ovi citati sami pokažu zašto je ova knjiga jedna od onih koje moraš pročitati za života makar jednom...
" A zar može, zar može makar i malo da poštuje sebe čovek koji je pokušao da čak u osećanju svog poniženja nađe nasladu? "
" Izmišljao sam avanture i sam stvarao život, samo da bih nekako poživeo. "
" Ali čovek je toliko sklon sistemu i apstraktnom zaključku da je u stanju namerno da unakazi istinu, spreman je da se ogluši i postane slep za činjenice, samo da bi opravdao svoju logiku. "
" Ja čak mislim da je najbolja definicija čoveka ova: biće na dve noge i nezahvalno. "

starting to think i’m the ridiculously awkward 40 year old in a dostoevsky novel who feigns affront at the slightest inconvenience and catches fever at the drop of a hat

Everyday I wake up and throughout the day I ask myself this question many times: Am I smart or am I an idiot? I then go trying to answer this question but could never get to a solid conclusion. I asked myself this question while I read this book. Throughout my youth people will scare others into believing that reading classics is hard, that to fully comprehend a classic it takes time yet I felt none of the feelings mentioned above. The ideas that are in this book were asked to myself when I was younger and I once again come to another question: Don't we all ask or ponder about the subjects that are in this book? Which then leads me to: Am I smart or am I an idiot?
This was a tough read for me. The first half was hard to pay attention because well, it’s rambling. The second part was easier but it kinda rambled. But that’s the whole point, it’s the rambling of the underground man…. I just struggled to focus through the whole book. I hope the rest of his books aren’t similar, because I really want to read other books by Dostoyevsky. Glad I pushed through this one though, it had some insightful parts.
