just reading this book…(and secretly others)

It’s just The Double that does it for me. Especially the paranoia that engulfs Golyadkin (i’ll call him senior) when his look-alike, and exact double comes into the work scene. He suspects his double is there to replace him just like one of a machine, or rather to use his words, a dirty rag. Lol. It’s tragic-comic to say the least.

Dostoyevsky is my absolutely favourite author of all times! He never ceases to amaze me. And btw, both stories are amazing.
If you really liked The Double, then you would The Idiot as well.
