Dostoevsky's "The Idiot"

A psychological mystery by Ruth Rendell called Thirteen Steps Down. Rather weird characters in this book. Not too engrossing a book. Slow going for me. I have not read Ruth Rendell for many years.
Just finished Break No Bones by Kathy Reichs. Very good book as are all of her books if one can stomach her very detailed anatomically correct descriptions of cadavers.

Marion - textbooks are useful, fiction is pleasurable. But I must say fiction can also be useful.
R_I - Dostoyesvsky is heavy reading. Are you strong enough?

ms_canada,
Nah, just a light hearted classic tale. Good vs. evil and how those struggles are impinged upon by society's preoccupation with sex, power and money.
