What do you guys think about Russian novels?
My favourite is Anna Karenina by Tolstoy - it's a bit of a brute, but I would recommend it to anyone that likes reading.
At the moment i'm reading Fathers and Sons by Turgenev - which is also really good.
Does anyone have any recomendations / russian books that they like?

I prefer Dostoevsky (Crime and Punishment, the Brothers Karamazov) to Tolstoy, myself. You'll probably like him if you liked Anna Karenina, though of course it's hard to be sure.

My favorite is, always and forever, Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. He later translated this himself into Russian. Along with this novel, he has written several others in both English and Russian, including: Bend Sinister, Pnin, Pale Fire, and Ada or Ardor: a Family Chronicle.

I thought Lolita was great. Pale fire and Pnin were okay. Hs other novels were terrible. They were real exercises of self overindulgence that only Russian exiles would appreciate.
I like Gogol and Dostoevski.
Of Tolstoi, I only like Anna Karenina

ATM I'm reading Master and Margarita, by Mikhail Bulgakov.
It's FREAKING genius, so far.
My favorites are alsoLolita and Anna Karenina, or anything Dostoevski.
