Fyodor Dostoevsky - The Idiot (1869)

87

 I went into this with real real low hopes. Unexpectedly, I actually really enjoyed this novel! Although I did initially pick it up for the funny title alone, the book is pretty good and tells an interesting story. I mean, even in premise, this book is kinda awesome. HOWEVER the dialgoue-based yapping got to be a little much ESPECIALLY in the third act where just one side of a conversation could go on for 6+ pages. so here's a protip to anyone looking to enjoy this book: skim the dialogue, cause everything else is great.
