Crime and Punishment is my white whale. I trudged through a gabillion pages of a sociopath treading the same thought process a thousand times... and gave up 20 pages from the end of the book.

That was about 20 years ago.

I still have the book. The bookmark is still on the page where I finally stopped reading.

I don't care what final decision Raskolnikov comes to... or if he ever does.

Dostoyevsky owes me.
