Reading Dostoyevsky in order of writing/publication?

By HawkBirch2001

Hey everyone—has anyone tried reading Dostoyevsky in the order he wrote things, and do you actually recommend it? I did something similar with Vonnegut and liked seeing how his style and his whole vibe changed over time, like watching him grow based on what was going on in his life and the world. For someone who hasn’t read Dostoyevsky yet, would that approach make sense? A bunch of people tell me to start with Crime and Punishment because it’s so gripping and strong, but part of me thinks it might be more fun to watch his work build up to that point.
