Notes from Underground

This is the 3rd book of the Russian author that I've read and now, he has easily become one of my favorite authors! This was such a passionate tale of an individual who's sick of the society and its laws, and often at the expense of being self-contradictory, this paradoxical narrator goes on to explain the importance of suffering in life. The first part might feel like a rant of someone depressed, but bear with it and you will be rewarded, although I should warn you - this is not something you pick up if you want to read an uplifting book. One of the most depressing, but strangely beautiful books I've ever read.
