that would b v helpful

that’s very true. I just hate reading things that i don’t understand cuz i don’t wanna miss out on stuff but i can always re read it i suppose

i will continue to use spark notes

crime and punishment is next up for me

why is he so famous then?

that’s quite the hot take

we got this

Yes I feel as if i’m starting to hit my rhythm. i just hit lulls in the book where i’m only reading a page or 2 at a time

This is a very good perspective imo. I feel as though the author really tries to explain the characters in lots of depth but it’s so much information to absorb at once. took me quite a long time to just distinguish the different personality traits of alyosha dimitri and ivan lol

yes possibly

I’m excited to get into the juicy parts!

Yes the religion debates can be a lot for me as well

I have been doing the same thing! Except I struggle through the chapter first and then I go to spark notes... maybe I should try your method for my next chapter. The only issue I have with spark notes is that sometimes they are very brief whereas someone on here could maybe explain things in more depth
