If I ever knew how great this book would be, I would have picked it up so long ago it would make your head spin.
I am not usually attracted to Russian culture. My father’s side of the family is from “the area” of the former USSR and we were not treated too kindly, so I try to stay away from it. BUT…. oy, Dostoyevsky!
If you have never read Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment I suggest you run out and do so now.
It is over 600 pages, so it is not a book you can finish in a night, but the translation, at least the one I am reading, is so smooth reading it is not a challenge.
And oy is it worth it. Times when I would be watching some of my shows on TV, or watching movies on Prime or Netflix are taken up by reading. At night I used to cruise, until 4 AM, the Kos and Facebook now I spend it reading.
I have not been this much into a book in ages. Every page I read makes me hungrier for the next one.
How about you, reading anything you would suggest to others?
