Dostoevsky's Crime and Puni...Hello KyusiReader! Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment was my first immersion to Russian lit and to Dostoevsky as well. After finishing the book last May, I'd say this is one of those stories you'll never forget. Raskolnikov's suffering and inner monologues were just too haunting not to remember. I even have to stop once in a while and read another story because I was so affected by story. Anyway, I'm glad I read your post. It feels nice to see other people love the same book you loved.<br /><br />I also write reviews for several books I've read. You may want to visit my blog sometime (www.kyemeruth.blogspot.com). Thanks and I look forward to more book suggestions from your blog. :) God bless! :) IEMELIF Sta Mesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00027993788264724522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879483355240373611.post-53620851818138075522013-08-06T15:33:46.492+08:002013-08-06T15:33:46.492+08:00You're very much welcome, Tin!You're very much welcome, Tin!Peter S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17363239232633174946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879483355240373611.post-22063970172865567412013-08-05T12:01:00.835+08:002013-08-05T12:01:00.835+08:00Taking note of Checkov.

More in part really because of the sort of formal way that they're written, (like most Classics really)which makes it a bit difficult for me to get through, and they are chunksters as well. <br /><br />I am not closing my doors on them though. Perhaps when I'm in the mood for some despair or when I'm feeling brave. :) Do you think Dostoevsky is a great choice for beginners? :)Tinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13203750648397058107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879483355240373611.post-52785579895931701282013-08-02T10:25:02.616+08:002013-08-02T10:25:02.616+08:00Yes, yes, yes!Yes, yes, yes!Peter S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17363239232633174946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879483355240373611.post-53370830312920544942013-08-02T04:16:24.081+08:002013-08-02T04:16:24.081+08:00Never read...wow, maybe a should!Never read...wow, maybe a should!caitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05824538078958999767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879483355240373611.post-29624876698543867712013-08-01T22:20:32.582+08:002013-08-01T22:20:32.582+08:00Hello, Kaz!

I've not got to Dostoevsky. This book is on my TBR pile - it's a little dusty... You'll see from MY most recent post just how far distant my current reading is - but there is a solid reason for that. However, methinks it'll still be a while before I get to the Russians again.<br />KKazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06883203750700550391noreply@blogger.com
