I just recently finished rereading the classic novel, The Brothers Karamozov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. I read it years ago when I was in 9th grade and remember enjoying it. I decided to read it again after I finished reading A Circle of Quiet by Madeline L'Engle, in which she mentions it as her favorite novel. Reading it a second time was a much different experience. The part about the man nicknamed 'Wisp of Tow's son dying and many others hold so much more meaning now that I have my own children. Here is one of my favorite quotes from the book:
"As a general rule, people, even the wicked, are much more naive and simple-hearted than we suppose. And we ourselves are, too."
I have found two very interesting web sites about the book: http://www.dartmouth.edu/~karamazo/index.html
