Haha! A subtle nod to my boo boo. Touché pussycat.

Crime and Punishment was Dostoyevsky, not Tolstoy. You correctly invoked Tolstoy's War and Peace.

He too was an amazing writer. I loved War and Peace. The elaborate battle scenes appeal to my inner armchair general and love of military history. I considered it a gift, not a burden or crime worthy of punishment. ;)

Edit: But Dostoyevsky was the master of Russian grief and gloom. Just thinking about him makes me want to go back to Brothers Karamazov and Notes from the Underground.
