Anyone in to Russian literature?

I've read some Tolstoy, Solzhenitsyn and Dostoevsky. Not much. I suppose I'm not talking out of turn by saying it is mostly marked with a level of bleakness. Might be something others here relate to.

You're not supposed to agree with the narrator. He's a broken narcissist

He's a fuckwit. No one wants to be with him because he's a douche.

Yep. They won't let 200 Years Together be published in the US.

It's a far stretch to say that i'm "in to" Russian literature, but I did read and enjoy Dostoevsky's crime and punishment. Haven't read anything by Tolstoy or Solzhenitsyn.
