This is what shows up on our light summer reading list, ladies, when we are sl-o-o-o-w to organized our schedule: one of the thickest, densest, patronym-loaded of the Russian novels.
And one of the best. I ordered a Cliff's Notes Study Guide to accompany my reading of this tome, which begins tonight.
I'll be emailing y'all with a dire warning: we need to schedule a few months in advance. I'm planning, at our July meeting, to be a Grumpy Old Man and insist that we set up our reading list for the fall at the beginning of the meeting. This will prevent our probing discussion of Ilya Mikhailovich "Mika" Karamazov's relationship with Nikolas "Nikita" Mikhailovich "Mikel" Karamazov Jr. from running too long.

Tues., June 9 - The Good Shepherd - C.S. Forester
Be sure you get the Forester novel; as you might imagine, there are a lot of religious/inspirational books with "The Good Shepherd" in the title.
