As you may recall I decided a while ago to start reading some of the "classics", as I felt it would be interesting.
I'm still reading "Crime and Punishment" at the moment, it heavy going at times and the language can be a little confusing but overall I'm enjoying it. Its about a poor chap called Raskolnikoff who kills a money lender and her sister to steal her money and so far he's not dealing with the guilt too well.
I've become quite involved with the story and I feel a strange empathy with the anti-hero. I'd recommend it to anyone.
