82. Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky


I decided to read this on Ebooks because I liked the lovely contrast of old and new. Since this is a novel of such length, this decision almost killed me, but I still enjoyed this a lot. The main character's crime and the subsequent horrors he puts himself through as he wrestles with his conscience are quite gripping. The relationships between the Russian men confuse me somewhat, but overall, I did enjoy this. The protagonist's  journey is long, but also engaging as he tortures himself with guilt and fear. Definitely thrilling from a psychological point of view.
