When are you going to come <i>north</i> for a change? :)<br /><br />When you say "modern" fiction, do you mean anytime in the 20th century, or after a certain date? I'd guess most of the 20th-century novels I've read—at least the well-known/notable ones—are pre-1950 or at least pre-1960.<br /><br />I worked my way through <i>Crime and Punishment</i> some years ago, but I remember fairly little of it—I want to try again sometime with a better translation I have now.Elisabeth Grace Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073159989691222645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863271505161273073.post-25650003072854721972016-03-15T12:17:32.777-04:002016-03-15T12:17:32.777-04:00I love your writing style, Rachel.

Always fresh and entertaining, and you have a memorable way of describing people. :)<br /><br />I don't delve into the abyss of modern fiction very often, but occasionally I come across one or two contemporary stories that I like. Have you ever read <i>The Westing Game</i>? It's not exactly a recent book, but it's not a terribly old one either. Seems like it would be right up your alley. A whimsical, intriguing, fun murder mystery with an interesting cast of characters: what's not to love? I'll avoid going into greater detail so I don't accidentally spoil anything, but if you've never picked it up, you should.<br /><br />Coincidentally, I'm about to read <i>Crime and Punishment</i> myself. It will be my first acquaintance with Dostoyevsky. The cover alternates between looking either intensely depressing or intensely boring and can't seem to make up its mind which it wants to be; but then, covers can be misleading. We shall see!<br /><br />But seriously, do read <i>The Westing Game</i> as soon as possible. I insist. =)Kelsey Carneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08278048613377143575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863271505161273073.post-41918729452573667392016-03-15T11:47:10.810-04:002016-03-15T11:47:10.810-04:00I love the exchange with the clerk!
