Russian literature has slowly become my favourite.

Books I've enjoyed:
Tolstoy - Anna Karenina, War and Peace, The Cossacks, and Death of Ivan Illyich
Dostoevsky - Notes From Underground, The Idiot, and The Brothers Karamazov
Gogol - Collected Short Stories (Dead Souls is up next)
Turgenev - Fathers and Sons
Bulgakov - Master and Margarita
Goncharov - Oblomov
Nabokov - Lolita and Pale Fire

All have been excellent and I'm looking for more stuff, what do you recommend /lit/?

Can't tell if satire, bait, or genuine naiveness. Anyway, read Petersburg.

Hadn't heard of Petersburg, looks really cool. Thank you anon.

Out of curiosity, what made you think this was satire/bait?

I notice Crime and Punishment isn't on your list, I would recommend it. It repeats some themes from Notes From Underground as well so you may enjoy it more because of that. One of my favourite casts of characters in any novel, rivaled only by the main cast of The Master and Margarita.

Seriously though, read Petersburg. It's my favorite book and I'm glad to see anyone give it a try. Make sure it's either the McDuff or Elsworth translations as they are the only English translations of the full text.

Other great Russian works are
Envy - Yuri Olesha
Novel With Cocaine -M. Ageyev
Everything Flows - Vassily Grossman

And Quiet Flows the Don and Doctor Zhivago are also great. I'd highly recommend them.
