Book recommendation for July

I apologize for being so scatter-brained lately. For some reason, I'd forgotten how much time moving (especially moving off the mainland) can consume. Anyway, after great delay and with much embarrassment I'm posting my recommended book for July. I was able to get a library card the other day, and Crime and Punishment called to me from the bookshelves. I've already read the introduction, and it doesn't look as though it will be quite as ponderous as some of the other pieces of Russian literature I've encountered.
