Reading Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky, finally. For whatever reason I've bounced off twice before, hoping for a better outcome this time.
It's a great book that I think is often foisted on people way too young (my attempt to read it for a class in high school as an example).

"young" is when you think that by doing one thing - just one and only one little thing - your future will change. Just like Raskolnikov did.
Young means not having patience even if the whole Life is ahead. I do believe that Crime and Punishment is directly speaking to the hearts of young people.

read it when I was 15. liked it. but only remember the impression of it. I hope one day I’ll have a Dostoevsky year. 2023 was a year of Dickens and Austin and that was great.
