3.0

Notes from underground is packed with good quotes, and has insightful observations but its a heavy read. Its not much plot and there isn't much structure to the different parts, at least to me it felt messy. Regardless I feel this is a book one would reread over and over again, and it has a lot points to reflect on. 

This book did send me in to a reading slump because some of the parts I didn't understand, and towards the end he had some misogynistic notes which were unnecessary but what can you expect from a book written in 1864.
