A book by Fyodor Dostoevsky
It was assigned reading in high school, for me.
But it messed with my mind, and I had to stop reading it. I unsuccessfully bluffed my way through the tests and Essays of my English teacher.
Years later I tried again and failed.
About 10 years ago, I don’t really know how long ago, I resolved to conquer it! It still messed me up, as always, but the best way to describe it is to once again venture into the abstract,
Crime and Punishment killed me and then resurrected me.
