Sweet. I have the Pevear and Volkhonsky translation (which unfortunately does not have "The Double" - I may have to borrow that from the library since I have a deep-seeded loathing for mass market paperbacks).

I don't know if I'll have time to finish it this month, but I'd like to at least start reading it with whoever else wants to.

I'm responding to this four months after the last post, probably long after everyone has tired of discussing it, but I really have nothing better to do at the moment, so here I am! I read Notes from Underground in school, and I loved it. I especially enjoyed the first part, because I found the psychology of the Underground Man to be absolutely fascinating. It made me think A LOT, which is something I admire and love in a writer. I honestly never would have thought of that stuff had I not been introduced to it by Dostoevsky, but it makes perfect sense, really. If anyone else wants to talk about this, please do, and if not, I apologize for trying unsuccessfully to pull this subject out of the B & N Book Clubs crypt.
