I keep it short.. reading his books is the about the best thing I know. He is one of the few writers who can put his thoughts into text so effortlessly.
His books are long though, and changes in russian politics over a hundred years ago aren´t exactly the most interesting stuff to read for everyone. Anyways, Tales from the Undercellar and White Nights (the translation names vary) are my favourites. How do you like him? Can you recommend other russian authors?

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! ![]() |

Anton Chekov is very good.
As for Dostoevsky read notes from the underground because it is his first great work and his most obvious philisophical novel.
