That's all.
Oh, Lord, if you know what's good for you, you will <I>stay away from this book</I>. This is the only book on the entire planet that has completely resisted my efforts to wade through it (although Atlas Shrugged gave it the old college try). Crime and Punishment is as dense as four-day-old cheese.

I have always suspected that Crime and Punishment may suffer from translation problems but since I only read English, I may never know for sure.
