Crime and Punishment is my favorite novel hands down.

Brothers Karamazov: the devil part is my favorite psychological deep about guilt and self-destruction

Ivan subconsciously knows Smerdiakov is going to commit suicide so he waits to destroy Dimitri knowing the guilt would almost kill him too. The kids were obviously a critic of the "new" generation of young socialist and atheist pro-science Russians

All the part of the staret Sozima is beautiful and a great commentary about the volubility of the masses

Memories of the underground I like it partially is not my favorite even when I think is very autobiographical and gives us good light on how Dostoyevski saw himself, find it a little similar to the diary of a superfluous man from
Turguéniev

The Double: my least favorite is not bad is just not crimen and punishment either

The next one would be The Idiot I hope to have read all his work the next year

I've read both "Crime & Punishment" and "Brothers Karamazov". And "The Idiot".

Though many overlook it, "Brothers Karamazov" is occult polemics, a defense for Satan. It's also very convincing.

The story of the little girl kidnapped, raped and locked to die in an abandoned shed, is Satan's argument against God. God ignored her cries. And that does not mean God does not exist. That's the problem.
