Oh, how I love you Fyodor. I'm thinking of framing your picture and hanging it above my desk. I haven't paraded an author above my desk since Earnest Hemingway in 1961. You know the one. You out write him, Fyodor. He's good, but you're a genius. The things you know about human character, religion, philosophy, history, demons--you had demons, didn't you? Demons and epilepsy. The Brothers Karamazov took three weeks to finish. It was like being my teenage self sopping up a long novel like toast and honey. I read Crime and Punishment last summer. I'm going to read every novel you've written. But first I'm taking a break with P.D. James. Then I'll return to you, my love.

This comment has nothing to do with Fyodor, sorry.
I spent yesterday in New York City, and as I looked at the buildings around Central Park, I thought of you and the tiny little apt you found for rent in NYC.
I would love to live there, for 2 months, and not have to work (at least not much). It was my first time there, and I loved it!
Just thought I'd let you know that I thought of you and living in NY yesterday.
:)

You can do this, Kristen. Isn't it fabulous?
Especially right now when the weather is fabulous.
Last week you would have hated NYC.
Doddles,
I share your pain. How many thousands do you need to repair your landscaping? I decided to accept Mother Nature's apology today as I basked in sun (still slightly pissed off).
I do remember hating NYC more than once.
Fyodor is my hero. I've said that before. I love that you posted this. I am encouraged that such a great, empathetic creature suffered with such demons. It helps me to have faith in my own redemption. I read somewhere that he once stood in front of a firing squad, thinking he was to be executed.
I walked by Woody Allen today on Park Avenue at east 72nd. He was on a leisurely stroll, his head wandering as if daydreaming, complete with fisher hat and wide-rimmed glasses. It was surreal.
Wow, a Woody Allen sighting. Now that IS New York.
Like I said, it was surreal. I tried not to do a double-take and acted all cool and walked on. My friend, Colleen, said I should have run right up to him, shimmied, and said "These pretzels are making me SO THIRSTY!"
I said, "Yes, if only I hadn't already crossed 'get arrested' off my NY to-do list."
I love Dostoevsky! Crime and Punishment has been my favorite book for years. I love the writing...amazing.
