alt Hacker NewsI agree with all your points on why you should read... in fact I loved Crime & Punishment exactly for those reasons
I think its ok not to like Dostoyevsky, de gustibus - but you are implying that people read him to feel smart or that they need to put a great amount of effort in reading... great books have an healing effect even when tired and at the end of the day...

Yes, I did imply that. Maybe my experiences have been more challenging than I expected.
Ok, I will try Crime & Punishment again. I really do want to have that feeling of reading something great.
