... Karamazov before and it was very good but I just never got around to finishing it. I've always wanted to and to also read Crime and Punishment and The Idiot. I will be happy to read even five of his novels!

Very impressed you have a whole category devoted to Dostoyevsky! Crime and Punishment is one of my all-time favourite novels, and I have The Brothers Karamazov on my 2010 list. I'll be interested in seeing your choices and comments on them.

... was my translation, though. The language was really unnatural and sort of stilted, which was NOT my experience when I read Crime and Punishment.

I'm in for Crime and Punishment. I remember it as a shorter, easier read than the brothers, and a bit of a thriller. I have a book in my 1010 about the investigator (The Gentle Axe), so it would be good to reread this one beforehand.

I haven't read Brothers Karamazov, but I didn't have any trouble with Crime and Punishment. And I'm not a heavy lit person at all. Well, I threw the book across the room at one point. But in response to a plot point rather than it getting too headachey.

Murr, I just recently heard that my daughter has finished reading Crime and Punishment for the second time. In your learned cat's opinion, is that common? Please note that she read it the first time not even a year ago.

Dr. Who is cutting into my reading time in a big way, but I'm working on Crime and Punishment while I'm at work during the slow times. Honestly, all this angsty stuff was much easier swallowed and more appreciated in my youth I have very little patience with most of the characters so far. I'm ...

I'm starting this one today (in my reading of D's major works in publication order). My first reading of Crime and Punishment!

... Klimowski covers ended up rather ugly, and very depressing. His cover for The code of the Woosters would be perfect for Crime and Punishment or something...

From sqdancer's library, I choose Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky. I have been meaning to read this one for some time now...

... I am guilty of having a short attention span -- Portrait of a Lady (I always have a hard time getting in to Henry James), Crime and Punishment, Silas Marner, etc. And, yes, both The Silmarillion and The Eye of the World are there. I'll pick them back up some day . . . perhaps!

... Peace! My dentist gave it to me out of his waiting room--how's that for irony? About 300 pages in and loving it. (Read Crime and Punishment just before it, and Dostoevsky suffers mightily by the comparison.)

Thought I would start this one up. I confess that I've sort of put Crime and Punishment and Augustine's Confessions on the backburner for now. I'm a bit weary for such reading and spending my downtime watching Dr. Who. However, at work I can read light and entertaining books, so I just ...

Hi; It sounds as if you are really enjoying your Fyodor Dostoevsky reads this year. He scared me off with Crime and Punishment but I guess I should have known better than to attempt that one so soon after a nervous breakdown. I did hang on to the book and will try again later but I bet (bec ...

I'm a little frustrated because I wanted to read Crime and Punishment, but apparently so does everyone else. It's checked out at both libraries and on hold for a while. I don't really want to buy a copy. So I switched it with The Castle of Otranto. That should still be fun.

Slowly making some progress, just finished: 17. Crime and Punishment Have a large pile that I will be cracking in to this week. I think they should hopefully move quickly, but still a long way off from 75.

Happy to report that I finished Crime and Punishment. I have two that I think I will be reading this week: Shanghai Girls and Olive Kitteridge.

... in highschool. Even if you don't get the metaphors, it's still a wonderful book. If your into darker not so feminine books Crime and Punishment is great. But anything that you're interested in is a great place to start. Enjoy!

Still working on Crime and Punishment but really, this has to be the last week I add it here. It's so good, but also so easy to be distracted with other books. Also have now about 50 pages to go on The Madonnas of Leningrad so I imagine that will not be on next week's list. If I am good and ...

#100: What translation did you get for The Stranger? I read it as a supplementary piece a few years ago after reading Crime and Punishment, and I hated the writing style. Part of me wonders if it was just a poor translation.

... beautiful fiction writing for Shamsie to be able to weave so much, so well, without losing the story. Still working on Crime and Punishment and will lighten things up this week with The Host.

>8 I would start with Notes From Underground, then move on to Crime and Punishment. NFU is almost like a precursor to C&P. Then move on to The Idiot, and follow up with Brothers. After those move on to the lesser-knowns, like Demons. I'm a bit of a Dostoevsky nut, btw.

... son. This is the third part of the "Antichrist" trilogy, and eschatology is really rolling here. First four chapters of Crime and Punishment. Liked it so far. I can already imagine Merezhkovsky's comments, but I'll wait with reading them until I'm done with this. >13 I've never read ...

#22: Oh, I do hope you'll give Crime and Punishment another go at some point. I loved reading it for the first time. The degree to which Dostoevsky had me understanding Raskolnikov by the end was frightening. The last book I wanted to put down -- couldn't, what with it being assigned reading ...

I warmed up to Crime and Punishment a bit faster than Brothers, actually. Crime begins with a fair stretch of suspense right away, which hooked me long enough to keep me reading, whereas I kept leaving aside Brothers for days at a time. Plus Crime's setting is more contained (mostly to a ...

I LOVED both Crime and Punishment and The Hot Zone. I didn't find the latter very scary or creepy. Although, if anyone asks to stuff a bunch of dead monkeys into the trunk of my car, I'd probably now feel a little uncomfortable about it....

Without a doubt Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky. I couldn't get past page 55. I can close my eyes and still see that mare. I know there are far worse atrocities committed in novels, but this one just did me in.

Hey Charlie, Watcha readin' since The Boys in the Trees? After my humbling "gotta put it down" of Crime and Punishment, I read Purple Hibiscus which was wonderful. It also had violence but of a different nature and one in which I am very well versed. But by then I was in such need of a ...

Well, The Idiot doesn't have violence at least, from what I remember--certainly nothing along the lines of what occurs in Crime and Punishment. It's more of a delving into social satire in a way, along the lines of what Henry James might engage in. Let me know if you do look it up at some ...

Those scenes are the only thing that have kept me from re-reading Crime and Punishment. My Dostoevsky for all of you who might like it otherwise would be The Idiot--it's a beautiful book, and has a fair amount of humor thrown in in an odd way; I don't think it's one of the more widely read ...

I remember enjoying Crime and Punishment the first time around, but I just couldn't do it again. Maybe it's the kind of book you should read in your twenties--or at least before you're a parent. I just feel lately that I'm way too full up with knowing about all the awful things that people do ...

I understand how you felt. I have started Crime and Punishment more than once and not yet finished it. The violence with the horse is awful. It imprints intense images of suffering. The depiction of violence to the soul I found even more disturbing. I do not think that Dostoevsky would have ...

After leaving the current read Crime and Punishment at work, I quickly read The Death of Ivan Ilyich. An amazing read, a life not lived well and a tortuous lonely journey to the bitter end.

I finished the Pevear-Volokhonsky translation of Crime and Punishment over the weekend. I don't think I've ever felt as compeltely absorbed into a novel as much as I had with this. I don't mean liking a book, or being moved by one. I mean feeling that I am an essential part of the story being ...

I didn't think I would enjoy Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment until I began to read it, and then it was almost like a thriller - I just couldn't put it down. That was years ago. Perhaps I've come to know my own taste in literature too well. I'm more often surprised by finding something dull ...
