However if you're looking for something simple to read, of course Dostoevskij (Italian spell) isn't anyone's first choice. But by and large this particular book is not what I'd define a complicated reading. Also, plots are not really the point with Dostoevskij: you could skip pages (which i do not recommend) and still find valuable insights in his prose. I say this to mean Dostoevskij is one of those authors who seem to use plots as a proxy for personal meditations. I might suggest "Notes from the Underground": shorter, a bit more complex to read, but might give you a better grasp of what Dostoevskij is about.(less)
