(view spoiler)[Myshkin: I'm an Idiot!
Aglaya: Yes you are. Look how I'm laughing at you! By the way, I will never marry you.
Nastasya: I'm a fallen woman and this man understands me. Take me away, Myshkin!
Myshkin: Okay.
Nastasya: I do not deserve you! Therefore I will go back to my homicidal ex-boyfriend. 
Aglaya: Are you going to propose to me or not?!
Myshkin: Okay.
Aglaya: Psych, just kidding! Hahaha! I hate you. But Nastasya loves you, or she wouldn't torture you so.
Nastasya: No I decided that you and Aglaya shall marry. 
Myshkin: Okay.
Aglaya: Break my mom's expensive-ass vase. She'll cry.
Myshkin: *breaks the vase*
Aglaya: I randomly decided that I do love you, so I'm gonna go and tell that ho that she can't have you.
Nastasya: I can have him anytime I want.
Myshkin: Okay.
Aglaya: *runs away*
Homicidal ex-boyfriend: I got a knife. *dramatic music*  (hide spoiler)]

This book reminds me a lot of Brothers Karamazov, where Rogozhin is Dmitri, Myshkin is Ivan/Alyosha (rolled into one), Nastasya is Grushenka, and Aglaya is Katerina. Without the murder mystery though The Idiot slightly falls behind in the entertainment factor. There is a lot of philosophy though out and quite a bit of fainting. So get your coffee ready for the wordy parts.
