Crime and punishment was pretty good, but I never got a chance to finish it

Loved C&P from the get-go.

Back in late'07-early '08 when i got back into adult, pleasure reading it was one of the first books i read. it still sticks with me more than most books.

besides that, i've only read notes from underground, but i'll probably be reading brothers Karamazov before the end of the year, i can feel it.

Orson Scott Card is a piece of shit, but Ender's Game is a great book
