Quite possibly one of the best books ever written and if you have an audible account have a listen to the one read by Constantine Gregory he really does bring it to life.

Agreed.
Our school made us do ‘book reviews’ each year. We were given a list to choose from and age about 14, I selected Crime and Punishment. I think I expected it to be like the popular TV series “Z cars“ or something.
I then remember picking it up in the school library and looking at the page count with horror. I’d never really graduated beyond Enid Blyton before that. But I also remember overcoming my fear and being absolutely riveted by it, absorbing it from cover to cover.
Unfortunately the habit failed to stick, I never became a serious reader of books. Unless they were books about car engines, electronics or programming. :-[
But thanks for reminding me of that. :)

You are welcome sevenlayermuddle glad it was a happy memory.
I do read a lot, an awful lot in fact and like yourself I've read my fair share of programming books mostly on C++.
