In Crime and Punishment the suffering of a man who has murdered another individual is the key point of discussion. Either way, it appears to me that Dostoyevsky's novels serve as the means by which the psychological connection to suffering and pain can be discussed. Or perhaps it is that they are more capable of conveying the quintessential ingredients behind suffering. There is something about the nature of suffering that the classic Russian authors seem to understand better than nearly anyone else. Having found this masterpiece to be a fascinating piece of literature I decided that I would have to tackle another work of Dostoyevsky's and so when I stumbled upon Notes from the Underground and The Gambler at my library I picked up the volume and began to read. That is to say I finished the classic Crime and Punishment. At the end of last year I finally completed another one of my life reading goals.
