That was Virgo Tolstoy's big complaint about Dosto too lol

Also thank you I forgot this existed

What book first made you realise that great literature is more than just telling an amusing story..? That it also can teach us about ourselves?

>'What am I to tell you? I have known Rodion for a year and a half; he is morose, gloomy, proud and haughty, and of late—and perhaps for a long time before—he has been suspicious and fanciful. He has a noble nature and a kind heart. He does not like showing his feelings and would rath-er do a cruel thing than open his heart freely. Sometimes, though, he is not at all morbid, but simply cold and inhu-manly callous; it’s as though he were alternating between two characters. Sometimes he is fearfully reserved! He says he is so busy that everything is a hindrance, and yet he lies in bed doing nothing. He doesn’t jeer at things, not because he hasn’t the wit, but as though he hadn’t time to waste on such trifles. He never listens to what is said to him. He is never interested in what interests other people at any given moment. He thinks very highly of himself and perhaps he is right. Well, what more? I think your arrival will have a most beneficial influence upon him.’
