The Brothers Karamazov

This book is pretty damn good. I started reading an earlier translation, and was able to compare and contrast with this edition quite a bit, and let me tell you, this edition won awards for a reason. It's a little heavy, and it might put you to sleep, but it's worth it as it's a classic tale with a plot that has very few parallels. There are a lot of characters, but it's not too hard to keep straight. I read it as part of a class so we had in-class discussion and quizzes, which made it easier to keep the story straight and to get as much as possible out of it.
