Feeling very loved tonight - I'm going to read Crime and Punishment for the first time since high school because my twin loves it, and I just found out she's rereading her copies (all three) to determine which translation I'll enjoy the most

#she sent me a snap of her cat and the background was two copies of crime and punishment laid out next to each other #as she reads them simultaneously to determine which translation is best for me #its very funny and very sweet #she just texted me “raskolnikov is so silly i love him so much''#i love my twin so much she's having so much fun doing this too #she says the p&v translation is winning rn which is not what she was expecting #originally she was going to give me the ready translation because it has maps and whatnot #and she's partial to the garnett translation because its the first version she read and is nostalgic for it #i adore her for having these opinions #sharkneto speaks
