War and Peace
Crime and Punishment
Crime and Punishment was the novel Jack Reacher got from his brother Joe when he graduated from West Point with the note “Avoid both”.
“Dostoevsky put his feelings in a book. I don’t have his talent. So now I’m thinking I’m going to find these guys and impress on them the error of their ways in whatever manner my own talent allows.”
