Crime and Punishment is an amazing work of literature; I read that when I was around thirteen and it sparked off a lifelong love for Russian fiction & literature. Dostoevsky is the bomb, and Chekov, and Tolstoy, and Solzhenitsyn, great stuff.
I came here to this thread to ask all of you if anyone else here has read the book West With The Night, by Beryl Markham, or if any of you are familiar with Beryl Markham at all, 'cause I might decide to make a research paper on the topic of whether or not it was she who wrote the book. There's speculation that it might have actually been writen mostly by her then husband; anyway - anyone here familiar with this book?
