I've read Crime and Punishment twice. The first time I struggled. The second time was a much better translation (IMO) and it was easier.
I found Anna Karenina a fairly easy read. |

I read Crime and Punishment many years ago and I enjoyed it. When I was a young guy, I used to circle any word that I didn't know and look it up after each chapter. I still remember that I learned the word magnanimous from Crime and Punishment. How's that for a random memory?

Bros. Karamazov can not be read in 20 minute grabs here and there, IMO. I trieed it and had the same experience., I had to devote some time and, having done so, it rewarded me with a greta literary experience. I have yet to read War and Peace and now I am feeling like I should.

Next Summer I'll read "War and Peace" as my Summer Classic Tradition.

Russian heritage. My great grandparents (along with my grandfather) came over in the early 1900's.
