Imagine if Holden Caulfield were Russian, didn't have a family, and was a bit more off his rocker. That's Notes from Underground. The Grand Inquisitor is just a damn good excerpt from Brothers Karamazov. (

Just read this for the first time since 1994. One of those books one should check in with every decade, I think (
