[dba-Tech] OT: Literary Question

I read Crime and Punishment. What a terrible, tedious book that was... It
took me forever, and I generally read pretty quickly - I've been reading the
new Tom Clancy book Against All Enemies - I'm averaging around 100 pages an
hour. C&P took me four weeks. Mostly because I kept having to try not to nod
off. Great Russian literature? I hardly think so.

I love the way he phrased that like he knows the rest of us have actually
read it... as if... ;)

I've tried to read several of his books -- can't do it. Boring as hell.
