Crime and Punishment had a big influence on my when I read it in 12th grade. Prior to it, I had been reading Ayn Rand and thinking a lot about objectivism/libertarian ideas. Crime and Punishment was like an antidote. I don't think C&P actually addresses libertarian ideas, but it is a rejection of some kind of cold, rationalist philosophy. Anyway I remember it fondly and should probably reread it at some point.
