No time and the content. Curious what makes you say that? I've read Crime and Punishment and i just looked him up and remembered i read The Brothers Karamozov
I may have been in high school or just out when i read ..Bros...i don't rememebr that much; Crime and Punishment made me feel guilty of something, i'm still waiting for that guy to come after me!
No, don't back off, it's been decades since iread either of those; what would you say his view of life is?
Well... uh oh, I guess I'm not enough of an expert on Dostoevsky to summarize that, but I guess it's his sense of the rampant cruelty and insanity of life, with a kind of faith in the deep compassion at its core...
It's true-- it's kind of insane living against the weather all the time. When I visited my friend at Miami University years ago, it was maybe March, and at the cafe across from her apartment, all the farmers would sit there half the day: they were waiting to plant, it was still too cold. They had a real off season in winter-- balanced by super-long hours later, of course.
It's my birthday month, so I like it for that. Plus, I love the "getting things back to normal after the holidays" activities, like de-Christmasing, putting gifts away, making donation boxes for charity...it's a good purging/organizing month.

I don't know, I just somehow thought you'd be drawn by his view of life.
