1. Crime and Punishment by Fyodor, Dostoevsky

I read this in high school but being quite rebellious I don't think I really appreciated how good the writing is. I am in Chapter 5 of Part 1 and there are 6 parts with an epilogue. It was while reading The Murder of Harriett Krohn that my thoughts turned towards this book. Something about the murderer in that book resonated with what I remembered of Raskolnikov. The real shock is that I remembered anything of this book as I have not thought of it since 1967. The mind is a wondrous and STRANGE thing.
