Beginning Notes From Underground, by Dostoevsky. I recently re-discovered my "type", and was excited to find out a lot of my favorite authors were the same MBTI, so at the top of my list was Dostoevsky. I had tackled him when I was young and could only begin to appreciate his work. I have read Notes From Underground before, a long time ago, but remembered very little. So! I want to read it slowly, thoughtfully, and carefully.
So far, I can only say it's a bit uncomfortable, LOL! If the character is also the same MBTI, he is an unhealthy version. My heart goes out to the character and I want to ask if he wants a hug.
He sounds very resistant to treatment. Right away he's blunt about the fact that he won't see a doctor, "out of spite."
I think the character may not be the same MBTI type as me or the author, he kind of scares me a little to be honest, lol! I suspect he's putting up a bit of a front, though.
"I swear, gentlemen, that to be too conscious is an illness—a real thorough-going illness."
Perhaps, but I would argue that it depends on how you react to—or accept—what you become conscious of.

I'm currently reading The Book of Form and Emptiness by Ruth Ozeki. It's wonderful, intriguing and sad all at the same time. It won the 2022 Womens Prize for fiction. I don't usually take notice of literary prizes but this is the second book I've read from a prize list and to be fair it's excellent so I might explore that more!
@rosie098 first we make the beast beautiful it is about anxiety and how to live with it

I've been reading no longer human and its really good!!!
I am currently reading, "Mercury In Retrograde", by Paula Froelich. I enjoy escapism when I have the time to indulge in this activity which isn't too often. But when I can a good book is like a mini vacation; a much needed respite from the rigors of work.
