The Idiot

For me it's The Idiot, due to Myshkin being such a distinct character. But all of Doestoevsky's work was eye-opening for me.

"The Idiot" - was one of the most interesting books I've read.

* "The history of western philosophy" by Bertrand Russell. A fun read so far (~100 pages). Russell is not afraid to tell the reader that he really dislikes Plato, and thinks he destroyed western philosophy. * SICP (Structure and interpretation of computer programs). Learning Scheme for fun now with this book. I'm only in chapter 2 so far, but it is really fun * "Gödel, Escher, Bach" by Douglas Hoefstadter. The story in one line: he have a theory that consciousness aries from "strange loops". Along the way he talks about fractals, programming, patterns in music and in pictures,... * "The Idiot" by Fyodor Dostoyevskij. Fun read.
