I haven't read The Idiot, but I would have to say that Crime and Punishment is one of the most powerful and rivoting books I have ever read. I read it when I was about your age (about forty years ago), I remember that experience to this day. I can even remember where I read it and how I couldn't put it down. I would love, in fact, to take the time some day to go back and re-read it.
