Notes from Underground ★★★★★ 5
The Double ★★★★ 4.5
The disparity of our ages and life experiences (heroes') was not really a problem I faced reading this book. The double is great but Notes from Underground simply has greater and clearer impact on me.
I recommend reading Notes from Underground (my copy has The Double in it) it has bits that's humorous to me and its not as demanding as The Double. I had to reread a few chapters of The Double becuz sudden details and events unfolded in later chapters i.e. Clara Olsufyevna that I didn't notice in the beginning. The Double's end saves it.
