I never understood fascination with his books, especially on the west. I was forced through "Crime and Punishment" by our school system and tried (for the 3rd time) reading The Brothers Karamazov in my mid 30s - its all so boring and pointless and I was only driven by my curiosity to find what other people are finding there (and failing). So, a genuine question for the people that found "Brothers Karamazov" good - what was good about it? The linked article just sings pointless accolades.
