1. Crime and Punishment (Dostojevski) - student kills an old nagging landlord with an ax! I chopped wood as a madman after that.Simonov wrote:Преступление и наказание - Dostojevski
Die Verwandlung - Franz Kafka
2. The Metamorphosis (Kafka) - a man turns into a big bug. A sad (short) story. I liked Der Prozess (The Trial) more.
Great books! Gimme some more reading suggestions.
