[font=verdana][color=green]Lack of Dostoyevsky is depressing me.
Me too, "The Idiot" opened my eyes on so many levels, and because of "Crime and Punishment" I had to pay a fine, and a heavy one too- I was reading it on a train, and it made me miss my station. By about 300km.
Say what you will, but XIX century Russian literature is superior to anything written in the west, and, to my mind, can be rivaled only by the four great Chinese classics.
