“Crime and Punishment” by Fyodor Dostoevsky

What can one say about one of the world’s great novels!! It was very good. I would appreciate it even more if I reread it to better analyze its themes. As with all great novels, it is quite contemporary in many of its sensibilities....timeless. Though, truth be told it was too intellectual to be as emotionally satisfying for me as ”Pride and Prejudice” or “Emma”.

It’s also quite amusing. I was reading Jo Nesbo at the same time as this book, and noticed some striking thematic parallels.
