Dead Souls by Gogol
Great book, very entertaining and detailed description of Russian country life in mid-19th century. Full of humor and absurdity. Book ends in the middle, as Gogol burned the second part just before it was scheduled to be published. Only a few chapters remain of that part.



Concur. All Gogol, especially "The Overcoat" is worth reading.

I'm reading "The Yom Kippur War: The Epic Encounter That Transformed the Middle East" now:
