I read something, get absorbed, research it and usually my absorption gives rise to something else that is related but worth exploring. It should be noted that Crime and Punishment is Dostoevsky and not Tolstoy, however. My favourite Tolstoy is, without a doubt, Anna Karenina - the greatest book on love ever written. The purity of Levin's love for kitty is what I aspire for... probably unrealistic, but it is the ideal!

At the moment I am reading Goethe's Faust again, a work I never tire of. The Faustian dilema seems to be our modern human condition. The Word as potential idolatory is a good premise.
