Russian literature

I have read a few books by Russian authors lately, the Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov and Doctor Zjivago by Boris Pasternak. It is far from many, but I must say that I have found an interest in their complicated histories filled with characters with different names.
It took me quite sometime to get in to Doctor Zjivago, mostly because I expected the book to act in one way and got lost when it didn’t. I decided to re-start the whole thing and leave my mind blank from the first page and the results followed!
Now maybe I will be brave enough to try one of the larger book as well as Crime and Punishment and War and Peace

My recommendations: Doctor Zjivago by Boris Pasternak
