I am reading the Idiot, by Dostoyevsky. I haven't read any of him for the past 15 years. But damn it's good.
Melodrama: Yes
Action: Yes
Existential meaning: Yes yes yes.
It sucks you in and won't let go because it's just so exciting. And still it want to do something more.
This is better than Dan Brown or Stieg Larsson in terms of suspense and on every other level they are the butt of the joke.
This is the real deal.
