Nothing at the moment but around a week ago I finished Crime and Punishment. I didn't understand the ideas and themes it's praised for but I still enjoyed it just for the story and characters which is exactly what I expected when I decided to read it, thinking something like "come on, if it's a classic it's at very least just a good book" and I was pleased that that was correct.
I have it in my to-read pile for about a decade. I should read it one of these days.
If you wonder about translations, I never checked the original or other translations but I had no issues with Pevear&Volokhonsky
Thanks for the info. Will check it out.
