This is a great book and should be read in the summer. The hot muggy Petersburg weather seems to be a major antagonist in the story and the book is best understood when you can empathize with Raskolnikov. So turn off the A/C, clime up to the attic and get a taste of the agony that can be avoided by not axing old ladies.
If I had the time, I'd read this every summer. I cannot write a comment that would do this book justice, so I'll just say read it. This is one book where the movie actually comes close to capturing the story, but it leaves to much out.
I read this on a summer day shortly after I got out of school. Are you a pig, a horse, or a sheep? Four legs good; two legs bad! Four legs good; two legs bad!
This summer I plan to read (finish) Huck Finn. I got through about half of it during six sigma training at work, but the instructor caught some of the others reading emails during the class and made us turn the computers off. At least I got something out of the first half of the week.

I have read them all except Crime and Punishment. Should a semi-hormonal, post-pregnancy, cry at everything type (i.e. me) read this now or later when my hormones are more balanced??? :)
