Saturday, October 6th, 2007Russian Reading Challenge 2008

January 1, 2008 - December 31, 2008
Sharon at Ex Libris is hosting an intriguing challenge: The 2008 Russian Reading Challenge. She has started a group blog which has numerous links to Russian literature sources.
The goal is to read a minimum of four books (fiction, non fiction, memoir, etc…) either about Russia or written by Russian authors. Participants will be posting their lists and reviews on the group blog.
I’ve decided to make a list of books from which I will choose my books to be read:
Oblomov, by Ivan Goncharov
Home of the Gentry, by Ivan Turgenov (COMPLETED June 19, 2008; rated 3/5; read my review)
War and Peace, by Leo Tolstoy (new translation)
The Brothers Karamazov, by Fyodor Dostoevsky
A Russian Journal, by John Steinbeck
**More to be added per my whim!
