Yes he's my favourite author.
If you have no time for a long read, check out his short stories like Death of Ivan Ilyich, Father Sergius, Master and Worker, Alyosha the pot and How much land does a man need?(which Joyce called the best story ever or something like that)
If you'll like these short stories, you can read his longer works like War&Peace or Anna Karenina

I don't have favourites of anything. If I had a favourite dish, for example, I'd quickly tire of eating it. If I made the occasion of eating it to be rare, then I'd quickly forget why I liked it to begin with and probably not care enough to rediscover the reasoning. It'd just be the boring background, something already experienced and considered, which gives no motivation for rediscovery. This is how my brain works, unfortunate or fortunate.

I'm reading the Age of Em atm. The author is a retard if he thinks any of it is grounded in reality or predictive in any way, it amounts to overly autistic sci-fi world-building that is never even used for a proper narrative. It's okay, if you ignore the author's unfounded claims and generalisms, as he basically makes no solid points, and just look at the world he is painting with curiousity.

Favorite: Ficciones, by Borges
Just finished Bestiario, from Cortázar, and going to start The Gospel according to Jesus Christ, from Saramago
