Session 7 of 10.

And now, the culmination of our three-year classics reading plan... The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Rightfully, we began our project with The Devils and we conclude with the same author's final novel all about faith and doubt -a book with over 4600 editions in every language on Goodreads. 47000 people are currently reading TBK (per Goodreads); let's join them and see if you can discover the author's viewpoint amongst the four Brothers K.
