I can't get through Crime and Punishment. That book has repeatedly and thoroughly kicked my butt.
I think I should probably just get to grips with the fact that I can't do mid-to-late-19th-century Russian literature, but dang it, I've forced myself to get through books that were a lot worse, and I don't like being beaten. Every time I start to read it, my brain just kind of glazes over.
