Read me a bunch of Hemmingway as that seemed a good place as any, really enjoyed it, good poo poo. Some Mark Twain, some Melville, all good. Lots of Kerouac, Bukowski, Vonnegut, top notch poo poo.

the problem is that your tastes haven't advanced beyond senior year AP English. at best, with the kerouac, bukowski and vonnegut, you're pushing into 'insufferably boring college sophomore' territory

Each of the brothers is a metaphor for a different part of Man's psyche - Dmitri is the id, Ivan is the ego, Alyosha is the superego, and the unconscious is also lurking around in the background.

hmm yes i also think the brothers karamazov is an elaborate metaphor for a psychoanalytic theory not first published until 40 years after dostoyevsky died
