Book read: Crime and Punishment

I read a bit, but not as much as I should. I've never read a "classic" under my own steam - a bit shameful really. In fact I probably see a lot of truth in the Mark Twain quote of:

"A classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read."

I was lent Crime and Punishment (Fyodor Dostoyevsky) by my friend and naturally it was a little daunting. I've put in the effort to read it, it's a dark tale of murder and rehabilitation from the central characters viewpoint. I'm glad I've read it, of course I'm now thinking will this be the only one I ever read?
