I don't know if anyone else has ever read Crime and Punishment, but whoa...mind flip. The thing that worries me most about this book is that I actually understand Raskolnikov. It's weird, but when he tells Sonia why he killed the old woman, I understood exactly what he was saying. Does that mean something's wrong with me? I hope not. Raskolnikov is one of the most human characters I have ever read about. He isn't completely flat or completely predictable like other characters in books I've read. For some reason I connect with Raskolnikov pretty well...is that weird? I still haven't finished the book, but I'm pretty close and because I've read the stupid Intro I know the gist of what happens.
You know, I read somewhere that Dostoyevsky generally gets two responses, either you hate his works or you love them. I think I'm loving them.
By the way, I find Razumikhin hilarious, what with him shouting at someone to go to hell one second and then turning around and saying that your his best friend/great guy/bestest buddy to almost everyone. He's so weird, but in a good way.
P.S. Am I the only one who puts two spaces between the period and the next word when starting a new sentence? 'Cause everyone else I know only puts one space after the period...just wondering if I was taught differently...because it wouldn't be the first time.
