Crime and Punishment
by Fyodor Dostoevsky
What is a crime? What should be the punishment? It's dark, but I've fallen in love with this story. The main character does something very, very bad--a crime, you might say--and Dostoevsky gives you the disturbing privilege of not simply sympathizing but truly empathizing with him. You will feel the crime, and oh, you will feel the punishment. I recognize that that is not a necessarily enticing pitch, but I hope you hop on the Crime and Punishment train when you're up for it! I found the message genuinely profound, the writing compelling, and the story quite gripping.
