Dostoevsky is excellent, top-shelf reading. He writes about human psychology and spirituality, politics sometimes, and talks about what the people are like in 19th century Russia. That last part's probably not that important, but most of his books take place around there, because that's where he's from. Exceptional writing, lucid and insightful. Entertaining in that Fight Club dark-humor satirical kind of way and also quite practical.

I, like Phil, get bored easily and would recommend Notes From Underground, 130 pages short.
