    Question Favourite Russian writers

    -
    Multiple choices possible.

    Me? Almost all. Who don't classify are whom I haven't read.

    Only one thing by Dostoevsky, the Insquisitor. Excellent!

    And the Gulag Archipelago and a Day in the Life of Ivan Whatshisname. Excellent as well.

    • The Marriage
    • Taras Bulba (watched; Yul Brynner and Tony Curtis)
    Tolstoy:

    • Childhood
    • War and Peace (watched)
    • Anna Karenina (watched; Sophie Marceau)
    • Resurrection
    • Hadji Murad (my family roots are connected to him )
    Dostoyevski:

    • The House of the Dead
    • Crime and Punishment
    • The Idiot
    • The Adolescent
    • The Brothers Karamazov (watched; Yul Brynner et al)
    Turgenev:

    • Smoke (reading now)

    I have only read 'the Idiot' and 'crime and punnishment' from that list, you should add Konstatin Paustovskij, great books.
