I don't seem to recall any ideas in the first ten pages of the Brothers K, and as it's about Fyodor Pavlovich being a sponger and abandoning his son, there's not that much to love.

I suppose the key thing, then, is to mention that I didn't read the first ten pages. I read whatever was anthologized in a tattered old book I found for a quarter in a used bookshop. Wish I could tell you which ten or so pages it happened to be... Ah, actually, I can.
