January, not a month to make the emotions run high. Anyone's favorite month - January?

Well, I have to admit I haven't read Crime and Punishment. I've just avoided it. But you didn't like The Brothers Karamazov?

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

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...
