Coffee and books while waiting for laundry to be done.
I‘ve been trying to read more: every night, on my lunch breaks, in the morning, just whenever I can. It‘s working out pretty well.

Day 19 - #ClassicYouEnjoyed #GratefulReads #CrimeandPunishment #FyodorDostoyevsky

A must read classic! Masterpiece! Riveting!

Murder story, told from a murder‘s point of view, that implicates even the most innocent reader in its enormities. It is a cat-and-mouse game between a tormented young killer and a cheerfully implacable detective. It is a preternaturally acute investigation of the forces that impel a man toward sin, suffering, and grace.

DS9 4.19 #HardTime Let's torture Miles O'Brien again! A favourite of mine, a gut wrenching episode on the real trauma of incarceration, but it sadly stands alone and is never heard of again. Depression should not solved in between episodes. Fear not, though, he'll be tortured again soon. This epi, along with TNG's Chain of Command, are perfect examples to teach how torture affects humans. #startreksummerjune

Went to the bookstore with my dad, and he bought me these books because I got so emotional looking at the beautiful cover art #coverart #barnesandnoble #crimeandpunishment #frankenstein

In this novel, Dostoevsky develops the problem of human duplicity, which has its roots in the tormenting coexistence of a dual nature.

"My concern with Dostoevsky, as I explained in the preface to my first volume, had grown out of my interest in #FrenchExistentialism. For Sartre and Camus, a work such as #NotesfromUnderground and characters such as Raskolnikov in #CrimeandPunishment and Kirilliov in #TheDevils had become essential landmarks to which they referred in defining their own points of view"(xi).

Trying to finish #crimeandpunishment

“It seems to me absurd that the laws, which are an expression of the public will, which detest and punish homicide, should themselves commit it, and that to deter citizens from murder, they order a public one.”

~ Cesare Beccaria
