Not directly a "nut", but I've read some of Dostojevsky's work before, yes. So far I've read Crime and Punishment, Demons, The Eternal Husband, The Gambler and The Outcast; The Brothers Karamazov is still lying around on a bookshelf, waiting to be read. A very good author, absolutely; even though you've got to be in the mood for his exhaustive writing style. His rich descriptions of a world unimaginable, of political and society critical contemplations, of morals and values (like honor) so different from what we're used to nowadays, the Russian way of having many versions of someone's name, to add to the confusion... Absolutely brilliant, in my opinion. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Haven't read that many novels by other Russian novels, but I suspect Tolstoi's War and Peace (don't be put off by its size! ) is a classic you should have read at least once. [img]smile.gif[/img]
