finished reading it a few days ago and it's still taking over my brain. while i was reading i was already really invested in raskolnikov and razumikhin's storyline and i spent most of the book with the idea in my head that it was showing what could've been a meaningful connection that gets cut short by folly, so i was really affected when raskolnikov said his last goodbyes to everyone. what made the book especially memorable to me was that it was not at all as dark and hopeless as i had been conditioned to expect by the title and its rep online.. the moment i realized that there was actually light at the end of the tunnel it immediately cemented itself in my 5 star hall-of-fame.

crime and punishment is my main read but I've read a few short stories/novellas here and there in the middle of it when it feels kind of stagnant. love Dostoevsky, this is the first actual novel of his I'm reading (his short stories are very good and what Im more familiar with) but Im liking it a lot! if anyone who has read more of his novels has suggestions on what to read next, I'd appreciate some recs please 🙏

Every day I wish I could read this book with new eyes. The intertwining themes, the religious metaphor, the characters… one of my favorite book, if not my favorite, for a reason

For a book written in 1848, it stands the test of time impecably. It's only 87 pages and it's a dream to read. The characters remind me of me and so it provoked my brain and actions and made me actually think about my life. I finished the book literally 3 minutes ago
