Scents of Direction
 

 
This is what I think...

I'm really enjoying reading Crime and Punishment, I'm only around half way through it so far because I'm not getting a great deal of time where I can really get in to it. It's not really hard going but it's the sort of book where you need to concentrate and, because the writing style is quite descriptive, you really do want to concentrate to take it all in. I'm only really reading in hotels and on the train in to London (once a week for each usually), but I'm getting though it and always look forward to those times when I can put an hour or so in to it.
Considering that the book was written in (I think) 1866 I am surprised by how easy it is to read, the language is reasonably modern though I suspect that might be from the translation from the original Russian.

I've also noticed on IMDB that there have been lots of film versions made including one for the BBC a few years back, I might try to get one when I have finished.
