Example: I’m reading Moby Dick by Herman Melville to get back into reading classic books.

Speaking of classics I have just now finished The Idiot by Dostoevsky. I think I need some time to process it! It felt like a commentary on the changing society of the time, and how a perfectly innocent and loving person couldn’t survive said society. More than anything the book seemed like a vessel for Dostoevsky to share various ideas and philosophies.
