Crime and Punishment

Oh, Fyodor.
Who else could keep me up and awake night after night, even though I promise myself every morning to go to bed at a decent hour?
Who else can create such authentic human emotions that I feel I'm experiencing all of them myself?
Who else would make me subject my kids to dinners of grilled cheese sandwiches, scrambled eggs, or frozen waffles just to spend more time with you?
There is no one else. Only you.

I just started it yesterday, but I'm really liking it already.
I know exactly how you feel!!! I concur 100%!!!!!! I love that man: I love him.
*pitter patter* goes my heart over this review! Looks like I need to crack this one open asap.
This review makes me want to pull it down off the shelf for a re-reading. In the whole of Western Literature, there is no author better able to express pure and honest feeling than Mr. Dostoevsky.
Write more, Jessica! I love this book.
I love Dostoevsky AND grilled cheese. And this review.
Thanks guys! I loved this book. There were times I actually had difficulty breathing normally, it was so intense.I'm now trying to decide which Dostoevsky to start next. Poor Folk (though my edition is titled Poor People), or The Idiot.
I just read this recently too. It's such a page-turner! I'd say your kids are lucky they got grilled cheese (which is good anyway). I had a hard time stopping for silliness like food.I've got The Idiot up near the top of my queue.
I thought The Idiot was his best with regards to plot, but inferior to The Brothers Karamazov in characters and inferior to Crime and Punishment in psychology. Awesome book, though -- easily 5-stars for me and almost an all-time favorite; really the kind of book only Dostoevsky could write.
Ben, have you read all the Dosty books now? You are our resident Dosty expert.
I'm no expert, just a lover. I've read 5 of 'em-- his Big 4, plus House of the Dead, also an amazing read, especially if you're interested in reading a fictional account of his experience in the Siberian prison. My next from him is going to be Demons (which is also translated as The Possessed, I think).
Okay, decision made. I'll go for The Idiot next. I'll move it up to my to-read-soon pile and hopefully get to it within the next few books.

were the waffles still frozen when you served them?
I was supposed to toast them?!? Fuck. Damn high-maintenance kids.
This is a phenomenal book. I enjoyed your comments. One can always get wrapped up in a sweeping tale such as this.
Hilarious. This is probably my favorite novel that I have had the pleasure of reading - that is, I'm sure until I finally get around to reading Brothers. I've been putting it off so I can bask in my love for C&P a while longer.
Did you ever read The Idiot? If so, what'd you think of it?
