If you're looking for some striking hilarious dark comedy, deep philosophy, and fleshed out characters, can't beat The Brothers Karamazov, by Fyodor Dostoevsky (o v o) It's a classic!

Let’s kick off with a writing tip: if you’re writing a chapter and you get to the stage where you feel tired of writing it, that’s exactly the place where your reader will start checking how many pages are left. Chapters have a natural rhythm in terms of length. Listen to your subconscious.
