Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
great book.

Just finished "The Master of Petersburg" by Coetzee this morning. Funnily enough, it's about Dostoevsky :)

I concur,

I love Dostoevsky; theres something in russian literature that encompasses

the human condition- something that is not so regularly found these days.

Crime and Punishment and The Idiot are my two favourites.

Remember Me?

(multi-tasking :))
So I finished reading Remember Me? ages ago but thought I'd say how it all went.

A really intriguing, funny and light-hearted book. An easy read and i'd recommend it to those who are suckers for romance novels and love a fast-paced book that ... has a happy ending :)

As for Love & Punishment, I haven't picked it up for awhile, i'll get back into the swing of things when I have time.

Not reading anything atm.... waiting for my boyfriend to give back a book I want to reread as I can't remember what it is about.

These holidays I have read The Kite Runner and Torey Hayden's newest Australian release Silent Boy

The Kite Runner is one of my favourite books! :)

Currently reading Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen and The Weapons detective by Rod Barton. Both good though completely different - Northanger Abbey is your good old Jane Austen romance, The Weapons Detective is about Rod Barton's role as a Scientific Intelligence analyst with the Joint Intelligence Organisation (JIO) and then as Australia's leading weapons inspector in Iraq with Hans Blix etc.
