finish crime and punishment

im just going to have to start it over when I actually have the time.

I’ve picked up this book 3 times in the last 2 years and just die at about page 200. Don’t know why. I find it extremely fascinating, but I think it has something to do with translation. I’m always aware of that and it distracts me. That and I usually try to read this at night before bedtime and the language is just so tedious and awkward that I get through about one page before falling fast asleep! Arg! I will finish this now because I hear it’s fantastic, esp the ending!

I STILL haven’t even finished it!
I really need to start reading it.

I have to read this for a literature class I’m taking now, and honestly I just can’t motivate myself to finish reading the sections assigned! I can get within 10 pages but then I get so bored and just skim the rest…

I think the first 80 pages are the roughest because you’re just reading about the protagonist who is particualrly irretating man. When other characters are introduced the story picks up tremendously
