Oh man, I'm the biggest Dostoyevsky fan ever. I majored in Russian, so I'm reading the originals, it's amazing. It's almost everything I read in the last year and a half. I remember Karenina, I loved it in highschool. 'Crime and Punishment' is a spectacular book, I read it again just before Christmas. And just tonight I've finished his 'Notes from the Dead House". What a coincidence that you ask :)
But man, Brothers Karamazov. Oh shit. That's the best book ever written. It'll take you a long time. But it's so fuckin great. Afer I read it, I see Dostoyevsky in everything.
If you don't feel like tackling it at the moment, take 'Notes from Underground' by Dostoyevsky, pretty short, but great as well. Great as in 'absolutely-fuckin-amazin-this-is-the-best-ever'.

Man if it's the best book ever written it'll be time well spent! You might have just convinced me to pick up brothers karamazov. It must be sick to read it in the native language, I can't even imagine that. It always feels weird to know I'm reading a translation
