crime and punishment fyodor dostoevsky i’m so mad that no one told me this is good. I mean, i knew it was a classic, but i didn’t know it was so entertaining. i relate to raskolnikov. (not great, i know.) not in the way of thinking of myself as above the law and murdering because of it, but because i give too much value to coincidences and place too much blame on fate instead of my own choices. also idk if it’s just this translation, but i think this breaks a record for novel that uses variations of the words “hastily” the most in history. i’ve read some dostoevsky before, so i thought this might be a lil too christian for me but i love the way he used religion as a way for raskolnikov to reconnect with humanity rather than a way to preach and guilt. i still don’t get the way russian names change into their shorter and longer forms. i could say a million more things. maybe i’ll start making video form reviews one of these days. 9/10
