Not a lot of time for a write-up right now, but in the spirit of keeping things moving, absolutely ecstatic to have still available, to be placed in the category of
European lit (or World lit, depending on how we're defining Russia).. Dostoyevski's epic, sprawling, philosophic, amazing, mind-altering opus...
Crime and Punishment
Quite simply my favorite book of all time. I can't imagine any other book ever being able to usurp it. No novel has ever proved to be as engrossing or as affecting.
