Original Title: Преступление и наказание A very famous classic in Russian Literature. I read Anna Karenina last year (and I know it's Tolstoy, so completely different, but I don't have a lot to compare it with as I'm not really experienced in Russian Literature). Rodion Romanovitch Raskolnikov,...

I did not at all enjoy any of it. Let me acknowledge at the outset that the fault lies not in the book but in my ability to ...
