Crime and Punishment Summary

For those of us that missed Book Club, Carol LaDuca was nice enough to write up a little summary. She also tells us what the next book will be!!!

Isabelle Posner hosted the UB Auxiliary Book Club meeting on Feb. 2. We read Crime and Punishment. Although Dostoyevsky put us to task with this long, long, LONG tome we were amply rewarded with all the richness really good literature has to offer. Those in attendance spent the evening impassioned, tripping over each others words in the excitement of adding to the conversation.
Before discussing February's book, some of the crybabies in the club (me) noted
the book was too long, Russian writers too intense and the Classics too much "work." We ended the evening by unanimously and enthusiastically picking another Russian classic. Discussion was THAT good!
Our next book is Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. Book Club will be at Hanna Dryjski's, 280 Quail Hollow Lane, East Amherst. Look for your e-vite in mid-march with all the details. Begin reading soon! Everyone welcome!
