That's my top favorite - next to "Crime and Punishment" which I'm probably due for a re-read. Just finished "Brothers Karamazov". Yes, there are no better authors than the Russians (IMHO).
Regarding Gulag Archipelago, I've heard that some say it's a work of fantasy. Nobody has ever said that directly to me, but I do not think there is any evidence to suggest it is fantasy, and plenty of evidence supporting it to be true. Commie's gonna commie I guess. I'm 1/3rd of the way through "Brother's Karamazov", taking it nice and slow. It's a wonderful read.
Well, people took Gulag Archipelago serious for 40 years and suddenly it's "fantasy" - riiiiight. Yep: Commies gonna commie. Enjoy "Brothers" it is a wonderful read and I took about 4 months or so to read it.
I am also a huge fan of Russian literature. Just re-read Master and Margarita. Way better even than I remembered it!
