Crime & Punishment - Fyodor Dostoyevsky
    #4921622 - 11/11/05 09:55 AM (18 years, 3 months ago)

I just finished part one of chapter 7. What an intense book. I don't really want to discuss the plot of the story because I don't want to spoil it for anyone that hasn't read it, but I'd rather discuss some themes. Have you read it before, did you like it?

Here is a quote from part one ch. 6 that I liked....

"Almost every criminal is subject to a failure of will and reasoning power by a childish and phenomenal heedlessness, at the very instant when prudence and caution are most essential. It was his conviction that this eclipse of reason and failure of will power attacked a man like a disease, developed gradually and reached its highest point just before the perpetration of the crime, continued with equal violence at the moment of the crime and for longer or shorter time after, according to the individual case, and then passed off like any other disease. The question whether the disease gives rise to the crime, or whether the crime from its own peculiar nature is always accompanied by something of the nature of disease, he did not yet feel able to decide."

I read this book around this same time last year, and it was my introduction to Dostoevsky. It's quite good, though I thought that The Brothers Karamazov was even better.

Dostoyevksy is my favorite author. I have read most of his stuff. If you want to talk about his work, PM me. I could talk about it all day.

The Brothers Karamazov was the best book I have ever read. The meaning of life is in there.....somewhere.
