Notes from a Dead House by Fyodor Dostoevsky

2.0

I know that this was an important one - both for the foundation of Dostoevsky's later great works and for exposure of the penal system to Russian society at large - but it dragged so much for me. There was no real plot to speak of, just loosely linked character sketches and reminiscences. Very glad to be done with it.
