Punishment??

I finally finished Crime and Punishment and my roommate borrowed it from me. For him reading it seems to be the greatest punishment, but still he perseveres. He tries hard to read ten pages a day before sleep finally overcomes him. For me, the book wasn't such a strain thankfully. However I found that it required some patience on the part of the reader. It is mentioned in the notes that the book is not so much a whodunit as a whydunit which is true, but it was also described as an easy to read classic.

Currently I'm reading You Shall Know Our Velocity by Dave Eggers. So far the book can be described as strange, but it has been an easy read when compared with Dostoevsky.
