Crime and Punishment

Ta-dah!! Yesterday on my drive home from work I finished Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Woah, woah, I know what you're thinking "Julie, you should not read while driving, that isn't safe!!" Have no fear, for I have been enjoying the literary classic via audiobook. I promised my loving husband that I would read it by the departure date for our European Adventure. Realizing the massive amount of time that would take I decided to put my commute to good use. So between my daily commute, a few lunch breaks, and two trips to DC I was able to complete all sixteen CDs in twenty-four days. Not too shabby, eh? That even included a full week off when the parentals were in town.

All in all I quite enjoyed the experience. My favorite portion of the book, however, are the two epilogues. Maybe because I like closure, or maybe because I was glad to see all of my predictions come to pass. Either way, it was well worth the time I would have otherwise spent listening to music or harassing my sister with my half-hearted calls on the drive home. Sorry Plip, I'm back in business. Maybe I'll pick up a new book at the library. What should I read (I mean listen to) next? Suggestions please.
