Brutal.

Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky

I could not stand a three-page-long monologue from a dirty alcoholic in a filthy bar about his tragic life. Considering I couldn't tolerate the monologues in White Nights either, I decided it would be better to DNF Crime and Punishment at the first opportunity. This way, I could save myself from boredom more quickly than I did with the former.
