How I did it: It took me a while - it's a complicated book with some lengthy philosophical diatribes but the murder scene is some of the most gripping fiction I've read and the dialogues between Raskolnikov and Porfiry Petrovich the inspector is nerve-wracking.

Just started reading this now, and I have a feeling I’m going to like it – I’m seeing a blend of George Eliot’s ultra realism, with a little bit of Kafkan/Chekhovian surrealism. Which is nice…
Decided to go to Prague – also going to see Radiohead there at the same time, so two birds with one stone!
