I&#8217;m racing along, slightly behind the crowd, 8 pages shy of the mark my own self. Having a good time by and large, tho I agree with &#8220;SBL&#8221; that the soap opera component is much more engaging so far than the theological back and forth. Although Smerdyakov&#8217;s theological games were a kick. Speaking of which, thanks to Colin for finding the Smerdyakov-related picture tucked in here, referenced at the end of Chapter 6, Book III.<br \/>\nBased on the comments in last week&#8217;s thread (and on the introduction), I may be the rare exception who likes Aloysha. In contrast to all the mayhem, I&#8217;ve found his Richie C.-like innocence charming and a little bit of a relief. I&#8217;m also charmed and pleasantly stupefied by the size of the group &#8212; great to see so many folks sticking with it. And now that we&#8217;re heading toward page 200, no point turning back, right? I mean, math aside, it&#8217;s almost farther back now than it is just to push forward, right?
