Fuck I love russian literature. The best thing to come out of the country. Crime and Punishment was the best book I've read. Also read Notes from the Underground from the same guy (Dostoevsky). Right now enjoying The Master and Margarita by Bulgakov.

Any recommendations what to read next? More Dostoevsky (the Idiot) or try to tackle Tolstoi? I haven't really read Gogol either apart from a couple short stories at school.

Read "1001 Uses for Vodka"

ALSO

4chan needs to let me fucking underline titles for books, not being able to do so is really pissing me off.

Damn, there's so many there that's kind of daunting. I like books but I'm not a very dedicated reader, maybe like 3-4 books a year (lol). I'll probably try Gogol and other 19th century stuff first.

gogol is a badass, read as much of him as you can find.

The Petty Demon is 19th Century, seriously give it a look because it is so often overlooked and was full of lulz and mindblowing psychology on level with dostoyevski. I have been crusading on its behalf ever since reading.
