I was surprised how modern a lot of Dostoyevski seemed. Take out the long names, and so much of his prose is quippy enough to fit right in with contemporary lit.

Surprisingly agree on Dostoyevsky but haven’t read any Gogol- it’s on the to do list haha

Nice! Two of his stories I really enjoyed are A Terrible Vengeance and Nevsky Prospekt.

The Nose! The Nose is my favorite

Classic literature that’s also very readable.
