My fav book

Nothing. Go read it. Unless you think you should first familiarize yourself with Russian realism, in which case you should at least read Gogol ("The Overcoat" in particular), and also the earlier French realists, Balzac and Stendhal. But, before the realists you had the romantics. Russians Pushkin and Lermontov are generally classified as such, but they anticipated the realist movement. However, to put their best known main characters, Eugene Onegin and Pechorin, in proper context, one should first read Goethe's Werther and Byron. Before reading Wether, you should be familiar with The Poems of Ossian and, more importantly, Rousseau's philosophy and Confessions which greatly influenced Goethe.

You HAVE started with the Greeks, right?
