That's why I am so confused. I expected to enjoy every page and that it would read like cutting through melted butter. But what i got was more like chopping through a wooden log with a butter knife

I LOVE Dostoyevsky but I do not think that he is necessarily easy or even enjoyable to read. But I did find Crime and Punishment genuinely transformative and I learned a lot about how to write from him as well. I think the power of his work is less in the pace or the prose and more in the powerful concepts and how he carries the reader to new destinations
