Ah both are classics, notes from underground is a bit tedious but you really have to enjoy reading russian literature to get Dostoevsky...its also considered to be the opening key to understanding all his greatest novels - Crime and Punishment, Brothers Karamazov, The Idiot..

Camus is what I would recommend because its easy to read and I find his books are page turners...The fall in my opinion isn't his greatest...pick up The plague or the stranger.

I read C&P and the Stranger. I only remember hating the Stranger because he seemed like a waste of life, but I would have to read it again to elaborate.

Maybe, because I read it in 8th grade. But I'm pretty sure it was about a man who was unhealthily individualized
