I thought the punishment in question was being forced to read it. But hey, that's just me. I originally put it down to a bad translation, maybe it was a good translation...

Well, being a native Russian speaker I was forced to read some of Dostoyevsky at age of 15-16 - last years in school. Notably of course the "Crime and Punishment"... Somehow I had mental repulsion of it...

So Paul, I suppose we were through somewhat similar experience, although ironically the involved languages and authors were quite different.
