  1. My project his summer is reading The Brothers Karamazov. I found early on that your advice of writing notes is essential. The copy I have doesn't have a character list, which is something that I found helpful in the edition of Crime and Punishment that I have. So I made notes of the names and created a cheat sheet on the computer which I have yet to print out. Just the exercise of writing the notes with pen and paper helps to remember what you have read, as you said. Karamazov isn't even a difficult book. It is clearly written and well translated. It's just long. I want to find out what happens, so won't be giving up on it. This is a helpful video.
