Was in my early 20s, a poser intellectual with copies of Camus, Dostoevsky, Sartre, scattered on the futon. Goth girlfriend made me read this. Head blown. Life changed. Thank you, Anne Rice.

“You are not Dostoevsky,' said the woman...
'You never can tell...' he answered.
'Dostoevsky is dead,' the woman said, a bit uncertainly.
'I protest!' he said with heat, 'Dostoevsky is immortal!” (Bulgakov "The Master and Margarita")
