Work gave me the blues this fall, so I decided to read a classic work of literature to feel better; Crime and Punishment constantly made me feel like I was tripping because I kept imagining scenes as I Think You Should Leave skits. Dostoevsky seems kind of like a dipshit but I still really enjoyed reading this book. My first Russian novel 😃👍

Even though it‘s a reread it is the better of the two I finished this week.

Visited Haworth a few days ago to finally see the moors and the Bronte parsonage. It was better than I could have hoped! (The Bronte museum was unfortunately closed - but that had the benefit of making the town nice and quiet!) We did a tour of the area with a Bronte expert and he read some beautiful excerpts to us as we stood in the relevant places 😍
pickI usually read or listen to A Christmas Carol every Christmas. This year I listened to Hugh Grant narrating it. Although he does a good job, this version feels as if it‘s missing something; I can‘t pinpoint what. Maybe Grant just isn‘t as emotional with the characters as other narrators have been.
panSupposed to be more accurate than the other translation I read nearly 20 years ago, restoring a lot of cut material. There may have been good reasons for the cuts. The only interest I could summon up was seeing how the musical adapted the material.
Nothing compares spending the entire day doing exactly what you want with your favorite people....wishing you all that joy today.
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!
