Crime and Punishment
I took the Dostoyevsky plunge.
I’m a fan of the modern. Architecture, music, cars, art, whatever. iTunes, not vinyl. City of God, not Casablanca. Give me complexity, revelation, the heady thrill of the avant-garde!
Even then, on rare occasions I find the only reason I plough through a book is to have read it. Even if I’m [...]
