A better translation!
I read this for my book club: this excellent translation is sending me back to all of the Russian greats, as long as they're translated by these two!

Come for the Philosophy, Stay for the Spiraling Self-Loathing
Reading Notes from Underground is like having a coffee with someone who’s incredibly smart, deeply miserable, and oddly relatable—until they start yelling at you about free will and liver pain. This book is the ultimate deep dive into the brain of a man who overthinks literally everything—a pioneer of the “it's not you, it’s 100% me” monologue. The narrator spends most of the time spiraling through existential dread, self-sabotage, and the emotional equivalent of yelling into the void… and weirdly, I couldn’t stop nodding along. Dostoevsky basically invented the internet comment section before the internet existed. He captured the energy of someone writing an unhinged blog post at 3AM in 1864—and somehow made it literary gold. If you’re looking for a plot, good luck. If you’re looking for an intense, funny-in-a-dark-way meditation on the absurdity of the human condition, chef’s kiss. It's like therapy, but with more Russian nihilism and fewer co-pays. Fair warning: You may find yourself quoting it during minor inconveniences like, “Why must I suffer this line at Starbucks? Ah yes, man is a spiteful being…”
