I know it's a little heavy, but I've been wanting to tackle The Idiot by Dostoyevsky.
Anyone else interested?

Hi lovejoy,

I have just purchased Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky. It looks a bit daunting, but interesting all the same. Have you read it?

Hi Jan,

I read Crime and Punishment in high school and really loved it. I purchased it for a re-read but haven't gotten around to it yet. I remember it being a very psychological novel. I'd be willing to delve into it with you Very Happy
