So i've recently started reading the Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky, which is a very heavy read. Right now I'm on page 51 and I've had the book for almost a week now. But either way, I love Dostoevsky, his writing is amazing, and his life is equally as interesting. He was arrested in his twenties and sentenced to death in a Russian prison for his association with government radicals. He was allegedly pardoned from his death sentence as he was lined up to be shot. He finished his sentence, had a radical conversion to Christianity and a gambling problem and wrote some of the best novels ever. Here's my favorite quote from the Brother's Karamazov so far...... "Strive to Love your neighbor actively and indefatigably. In as far as you advance in love you will grow surer of the reality of God and of the immortality of your soul." Love It!!
