"The New Cult of Madness: Thinking As a Bad Habit"

A fascinating Time magazine article exploring the principle that thinking = bad (which you might have concluded from Notes, depending on how optimistic you were feeling at the time).

"Love Life of a Genius"

A 1955 Time magazine article reviewing a book about Dostoevsky's love life.

"Dostoevsky's Whirlwind"

A great biography followed by killer analysis of Dostoevsky's structure and style. Not exactly light reading, though.

"I'll Try Anything With A Detached Air Of Superiority"

This Onion article totally reminds us of the Underground Man.
