Although Crime and Punishment is more famous, I really like The Brothers Karamazov. I enjoyed the Russian authors I read in high school and college. They imprinted on me but I wish I could remember specifics better.

I am, but I’m not the biggest fan of Dostoevsky. I love the work of Chekhov, Gogol, and Isaac Babel though. And I haven’t read much Tolstoy, but I intend to.

@SW-User Gogol is good indeed. Never heard of Isaac Babel, doesn't sound like a Russian name but will look him up..

I haven't read much of it. I liked Crime and Punishment, Roadside Picnic by Strugatsky brothers, The Pit by Kuprin and two books by Iľf and Petrov
I didn't like The Captain's Daughter by Pushkin. We had to read it in school and I found it hard to follow with names always changing.

Not so much, though I have read Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Solzhenitsyn, Nabokov, Pushkin, Turgenev, Gogol, and Zamyatin. Don;t really remember much of their work, though. I do love the Russian Classical composers, though.

Yes! I'm just coming to the end of The Idiot.
Anna Karenina is one of my favourite ever novels.

I have read very little, although some Russian novels are on my list of "books to read one of these days "
I did once appear in a Chekhov one-act play, "The Marriage Proposal." I played the father.

Yes. It’s been awhile, but I loved The Brothers Karamazov and Netochka Nezvanov.

@bijouxbroussard was Brothers Karamazov hard to read?

@octoberthesixth I didn’t find it so.

I tried to read War and Peace, just so I could say I had...but it was just too crushingly boring.
