Heads up from Marlo!


The book we are currently reading is THE LEOPARD by LAMPEDUSA. But look what's up next!

Crime and Punishment, by Fyodor Dostoevsky


Take steps to get your copy for reading in June.
NOTICE: A couple of translators are listed for this book:
Constance Garnett for Bantam Classics (amazon.com's BEST SELLER) and Dover Thrift editions.
Richard Pevear (Translator), Larissa Volokhonsky (Translator), for Everyman's Library/Knopf.
W.W. Norton's translator is someone else (amazon.com's 2nd BEST SELLER and my choice).
Oy vey!

PLEASE ADVISE if you know which might be the best translator/edition to get. It makes a big difference in the enjoyment of the book.

Meanwhile, the book is available everywhere -- including online and on audio cassettes. You can find reading guides via google.com or whatever you like.
This is a great book to BLOG! If I knew how to do it now, you could already consider yourself BLOGGED.
Meanwhile, ADVISE RE TRANSLATOR if you can and ENJOY READING!

REMEMBER: You can get good used copies of books via amazon.com, abebooks.com, etc.
