Just because you aren't ready for it doesn't mean it's bad literature. That's basic.
I really like Dostoevsky. He was really onto something. What he wrote was deep and meaningful and profound.
Tolstoy is also great. His short story "The Three Hermits" (1885) profoundly impacted how I look into these things.
