Hmm, don't think it's that. I love a good bit of emotional melodrama, I just never totally bought into the characters or their motivations in Hunchback, so it was difficult to care about what happened to them. Still a great read though.
Just finished
Crime and Punishment. Good god, what a book. I'm still feeling a little bowled over, to be honest. It's powerful. The epilogue is utterly excellent. Great book, will definitely be picking up more Dostoevsky. Can anyone recommend decent translations in ebook form of either
The Idiot or
The Brother Karamazov? I tried reading some of the Gutenberg copy on my Kobo and I couldn't really get along with it (I had the Oxford World's Classics in paperback and it's pretty good).
