If you're into Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment is a def must, unless you've already read it.

When it comes to Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy , I'm a collector . Every time I read his books , I become afraid for weeks ... Not because the book has something shocking , no ... Because I think my mind is too small in front of Dostoevsky's mind .
BTW do you have any other suggestion ?

Their works make you think how genius some people are and how in the world they can come up with such creativity.
I pretty much know all the Russian literature and read probably 80 % of it, in original versions, of course.
You might like Lermontov's A Hero of Our Time, Chekhov's The Seagull(it's a play, so it's a little bit more difficult to understand, at least for me), Turgenev's Fathers and Sons, Pushkin's Eugene Onegin (classic, too), Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita and Heart of a Dog. I can come up with more suggestions when I think about it.

Yes, for sure, I'm glad to help. Feel free to contact me if you have questions or want more suggestions.
There are couple more good reads about war, these books will make you cry and be sad. Sholohov's One Man's Destiny, and Vasilyev's The Dawns Here are Quiet.
Also, George Orwell's 1984 is a must for everyone to read. You'll be shocked how it depicts our modern society, it's scary.

Wow , my favorites are there .
I admit at the first time I read Brave new World , I was so shocked . He described our world 50+ years ago better than I can describe !!
I love Animal Farm and 1984 for many reasons ; I started to read novels in my free time with this one , I learned not to believe politicians anymore !! and etc .
100 years of solitude was a true legend . I was younger and it affected my behavior !

Seeing their names , I can tell that I'll love them . Also they can make me cry ! I love these kind of books . I've always taken more lessons by crying rather than laughing .
1984 was a hero . I was a teenage and just started reading novels . This novel scared me then . But , later on , I read Aldous Huxley's Brave new world and was even more amazed . This book described modern world even better than a camera !!

Yes, war stories are written in a way that you just have to be worrying with characters, they make you very emotional. Here's another one, John Boyne's The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.
Here are some on more positive note: Belyaev's Amphibian Man and Grin's Scarlet Sails.

1984 is one of those books that you just have to read. I was so shocked once I started comparing it to the world we're living right now. I haven't read Brave New World, but it sounds like it might interest me.

Vanity Fair by William M. Thackeray

Check out Man and Superman by George Bernard Shaw when you want some thing lighter but interesting comedy of manners.
(it's a drama, not a novel )

 

[Michelle]

You can also read Shakespeare. It's deep and sometimes hard to read and it's a very good brain "food".
PS. War and peace it's my first choice too <3

This was the last novel I've been reading (still not finished) , so heavy to digest, yet so captivating. A phenomenal read!

I tried to read classics and read Dostoevsky. But it disappoints me, that they have conclusions and judgments.
If you like uncertainty and realism read GRRM. Not his popular onces. His old scify stories and novels. I am yet to find another author of that style.

American Gods was pretty different.
