P.S. Dostoyevsky

P.S. I just thought I would share this weird coincidence: I read Dostoyevsky's The Idiot while on my travel break. And here are the last few sentences (don't worry, it ruins nothing about the story) :

" 'Enough of being carried away, it's time to serve reason. And all this, all this abroad, all this Europe of yours, it's all just fantasy, and all of us, while we're abroad, are just a fantasy... mark my words, you'll see for yourself!' she concluded, almost angrily, as she parted from Yevgeny Pavlovich."


How strange! Is it true? Partly. It does feel like a sidenote in the novel of my life, like a quick aside that would be followed by, "but I digress.." if it were amidst the whole story of me.

I just thought that was odd. Good book, by the way.
