I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH! Except the 4,000-page chapter that takes place in the courtroom, following the other 4,000-page chapter that takes place in the courtroom. Other than that, probably a book that influence my writing more than most. It's by far my favorite depressing Russian novel, and taught me a little bit about redemption.
