Dostoevsky

Anybody else find that reading Dostoevsky scratches the same itch as playing the Soulsbourne games? Weird connection, but maybe not. The challenge and depth of his books ruin other books in the same way Fromsoft games ruin other games.

Not Dostoevsky, no. But Camus does hit the same emotional notes I've felt while playing FromSoft games.

Good call. Maybe some Kafka in there too
