Holy shit, why didn't anyone tell me how funny this book is? I've only just started the second part but the bit with the officer who he keeps swerving out of the way of was fucking hilarious. Everyone says it but this truly is the most /r9k/ book ever written.

one of the funniest parts for me was when his servant would stand in his doorway waiting for his pay, just kind of eyeing him for a while and then spinning around on his heel walking away.
the way he describes the protags anger made me have hearty keks all the way through

If you can relate at all that part with the prostitute at the end will make you want to kill yourself

Remember that the whole point of the Underground Man is to always assert his free will. Man has free will, and he will go to absurd lengths to prove it. The Underground Man is key to everything Dostoevsky. Man has free will. Why do think the commies banned his books? Man's free will doesn't jibe with Communism, or Socialism for that matter. Peace out.

>he's so free he's spent the entirety of his unable to be anything other than what he is, a social misfit and failure
seems legit

>Mfw Dostoevsky was perfectly able to describe my thoughts regarding loneliness and the prostitute. He even got the "I pretended not to know in my fantasies just for effect" part right. One of the reasons he is my favorite author.

Dostoyevsky is such a good writer that no one ever talks about how hilarious he can be at the same time

Plenty of people talk about that. It's very often mentioned as a reason why he should be considered superior to Tolstoy.

/r9k/ is pretty funny. I don't see the issue.

>Dosto writes the underground man as a caricature of a human being
>half the faggots who read it now see themselves in him
>his type is now commonplace
I don't know what this says about humanity, but it can't be good.

interesting hypothesis, I wonder if the underground man would read Dosto
