I’m currently reading Crime and Punishment! Loving it so far! Let me know when you start it!
I’ve also been reading Frank’s biography on Dostoevsky titled: Dostoevsky: The Years of Ordeal, 1850-1859
It’s the second volume of I think three in total. It’s about Dostoevsky’s period of imprisonment and afterwards, the effects it had on him, etc. Pretty insightful! I got 100 pages in and stopped reading because it was starting to give Crime and Punishment spoilers. I saw a few earlier but they were pretty small so I could just skim over them. But I felt like it’d just be better to read the rest of the book after I’ve finished Crime and Punishment. I feel like I have the necessary background (for the most part) in order to read it.
I haven’t read the first volume because I got the book second hand, and either they didn’t have the first volume, or I could only afford to get one lol. I’m planning on getting it and reading it later though.

Will do! I’m on limited space in my uni accom so I left it at home, but I’ll have to get on that asap! I’ve been meaning on getting into more non-fiction, so if I’m enjoying [or struggling with] Crime and Punishment, that biography sounds really interesting!
Also noticed that Kindred is on your recently read; I’ve been planning on reading that super soon! I loved the Parable of the Sower, and I’ve wanted to read more of Octavia Bulter’s work. I think she might be my next author obsession </3
