Crime and Punishment: A Brilliant Novel

Friday November 14, 2008
The world of literature is teeming with books on action and adventure. Mystery, it seems, never goes out of fashion. But a classic that remains on top of the pile is Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment.

The plot is unique as it focuses, not on the details but on the issue of crime. It is a far cry from contemporary thrillers for its engaging content and "hair raising" suspense. Here are some Crime and Punishment quotes that will remain etched in your memory forever.

Hello,

My parent’s recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. It was a wonderful party blessed with the presence of 105 friends and family. I wrote a song for them and performed it with my sister, brother and band friend from High School. It was warmly received. It was suggested to me to pass the word on as others embracing 50 years together may also appreciate it. It is called Stargazing 50 and is available for listening as well as buying it for 99 cents on my page.

It will be followed by an album or cd available this Spring. Stargazing 50 has a Holidays feel …so I decided to make it available early.

Cheers for valuing what it takes to be together for 50 years!
