Fyodor Dostoevsky is a 19th century Russian writer who explored the nature of man from many perspectives. The Book Club has chosen to discuss the author based on any of his works. From "Notes from the Underground" to "Crime and Punishment" to "The Brothers Karamazov" and more, choose your favorite and join the conversation.
“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.”
- The Brothers Karamazov
