I am reading The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky (P&V translation). About 20% through. It's starting to get interesting as the characters start to take shape. Till now I have read and enjoyed the P&V translations of both Crime and Punishment and Demons. This is a huge book and I am looking forward to enjoying this for a while! I am just excited and wanted to read other people's thoughts.

Oh yeah that's right. The Karamazov brothers had that exposition on if god is good then why is there suffering or something, it's been a while since I read Dostoyevsky but he really rocks
