We just started reading my favorite book in book club yesterday. If you've ever wanted to tackle Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, now is the time to do it.
This is a spooky, psychological narrative that explores the connection between our actions and our emotions.
It's not to late to join us! We're reading 20 pages a day, so if you start today, you'll be in the perfect spot.
Until next time, read slowly - take notes - apply the ideas. β

Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
π€ Why do I love this book?
It's a psychological thriller wrapped up in a giant philosophical question: Do our actions matter? Dostoyevsky puts his protagonist, a student named Raskolnikov, in an ethical dilemma that's fascinating to read.
I won't ruin it for you, but here's what you need to know ---> Raskolnikov believes he can do dastardly deeds as long as they are justified for the greater good. π±
As he performs his little experiments (Crime), we see what happens to him psychologically and emotionally (Punishment).
