It is worth the read, Otaking. However, I will agree it is quite depressing, as is a reasonable amount of what I read: Dostoevesky, Dickens and Lermontov are among my favorites, but I will cover some happier works too. I have amassed quite a library as of late and I need to go through everything. Right now, I am mainly reading manga, currently it is Astro Boy Omnibus 1.
I always put off reading Notes from the Underground because it sounds so depressing.

Also, please do not mind my comment on Fitzgerald, I do not mind him as a writer, just his most famous work I disappointing to say the least.
