Wonderful! I've become mildly obsessed with Dostoyevsky recently and finally started delving into his works. The journalistic, almost scientific attention to nuance and detail is unlike anything else I've read. I'm (still) listening to Crime and Punishment right now, as it was my headphones-on-the-tractor book, but outside work has tapered off with the winter weather. I'll finish it soon. The dream about the mob killing the horse still haunts me...

Yes!! That horse beating scene is atrocious and haunting. I had the exact same thought when I reread that. Awful.
