Heck ya! This platform seems like the best option for people who have to work to pay all their current expenses but still want to contribute with their passions and interests. It seems like a natural place to transition from one type of work to another.
Dostoevsky seems deep, I've been meaning to read some of his work. There's something to be said for writings from the past, the vocabulary seldom speaks to our contemporary minds directly, so they are a bit more work, but so,so beautifully written if you put in the work. They help show how poor our education system is in teaching us here in the states. I'm reading some Emerson now and he's fantastic.
It is really is turning out to be that.
Dostoevsky is wonderful - you definitely should read him! That is true about the classics, or any great art: it demands more of us, for sure--but also GIVES us so much more as a result. We get what we put in/are willing to fight for!
I've read very little Emerson--should probably add to the list.
Thanks so much for your comment! xx, Kay
