BONUS MINI EPISODE: The Worst Book Ever Written - Crime and Punishment - Dostoevsky
Thursday, 2 April, 2026
In this mini-episode, Jonathan recounts how he came to hate Crime and Punishment. Not to worry, he eventually came around.ABOUT THE BOOKIn the bleak heat of 19th-century St. Petersburg, Rodion Raskolnikov, a brilliant but destitute former student, wanders the streets nursing a dangerous theory. He believes that "extraordinary" men are above the moral law of the masses and have the right—even the duty—to commit crimes for the greater good.To prove his superiority, Raskolnikov executes a cold-blooded plan to murder an unscrupulous old pawnbroker. The "perfect crime" quickly spirals into a psychological nightmare. Haunted by guilt, paranoia, and the mind games of investigator Porfiry Petrovich, Raskolnikov begins to crumble.His only hope for redemption lies in Sonya Marmeladov, a young woman forced into hardship who maintains a self-sacrificing faith. As the walls close in, Raskolnikov must choose between a life of mental imprisonment or the path toward spiritual rebirth and confession.ABOUT THE SIDE QUEST BOOK CLUB PODCAST Reading is the ultimate side quest.
