Ugh! I am reading that one now - up to page 500! I love Russian lit but this one is painful. But I hate quitting books in the middle (and ok, I'm a little bit curious about if Mitya is guilty). If Russians are really such drama queens it's a wonder they had time for a Revolution!
Which is why I gravitated to Heinlein, Azimov, Ian Fleming, Clancy, Tolkien Fun, sex, shootem up. Quests No need to dwell for ages on relationships.
I embrace fictional non-boredom
LOL sorry about the spoiler. and the misspelling.
