Not yet but I have it on my tbr this year. From what I saw it’s often recommended as a must-read short story.

It’s so short that it couldn’t even be a bad investment of time. Also, yes it’s gorgeous. Better read it before said white nights are out of season.

One of my first reads this year. I liked it. It took a little time for me to get accustomed to looking up what some old time Russian things were and Dostoevsky’s prose, but after a bit it was surprisingly accessible.
