Having loved Crime and Punishment, I was excited to read more by Dostoevsky. Unfortunately, Notes from the Underground didn't do too much for me. Considered a forerunner of the existentialist movement, it centers on an extremely bitter man and his notes on life and relationships. There are some gems in here, for certain, but on the whole, I found it a rambling, somewhat incoherent work. Crime and Punishment was far superior.
