Read The Overcoat if you haven't heard about him before. Definitely recommend it.

Where have you been?

In response to OP after reading Tolstoy and Dostoy, Dead Souls felt like repost; like something i would have to read in the original language to appreciate at all. My favorite Russian is Yuri Olesha.

What exists of Dead Souls is fantastic, it's a shame he sperged out and burned parts of his manuscript then died before ever finishing it. It was supposed to be three parts but only the first exists in whole, and 100 or so non-cohesive pages of the second part. After reading it I ordered his collection of short stories but I am still waiting for that in the mail. Gogol is top comfy.

You won't be disappointed. Read the classics like The Overcoat and The Nose, but also dwelve into Viy and Diary of a a Mad Man.
