>Myshkin sank further into his seat. "Nastasya, why, do you think, The Idiot is so fond of his four walls, invariably painted green, grimy, dismal and reeking of unpardonably of tobacco smoke? Why does this funny fellow, when one of his new friends comes to visit him (he usually ends up losing all his friends one by one), why does this absurd person meet him with such an embarrassed look? Why is he so put out of countenance? Why is he thrown into such confusion, as though he had just committed some terrible crime within his four walls? As though he had been forging paper money? Or writing some atrocious poetry to be sent to a journal with an anonymous letter, in which he will explain that, the poet having recently died, he, his friend, deems it his sacred duty to publish his verses? Can you tell me, Nastasya, why the conversation between the two friends never really gets going? Why doesn't laughter or or some witty remark escape the lips of the perplexed caller, who had so inopportunely dropped out of the blue, and who at other times is so fond of laughter and all sorts of quips and cranks?"

The book in general is actually very good. It's one of the best novels about WW2 I've ever read, one of the rare recent works which have proven capable of taking the inhuman violence of the Eastern Front seriously without falling back on cliches and propagandistic stereotypes. But for some reason it ends on a fucking title drop like some YA novel and it just kills me every time

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bait to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!
