...Dostoyevsky - read 4 of his books, "The House of the Dead", "Notes from Underground", "The Double: A Petersburg Poem" and "Crime and Punishment (easy read version)". I like his way of writing and it's easy to follow the text. I do regret reading the easy-read version of CaP though. Planning on reading the full version some day...

Don't miss "the Brothers Karamazov", the best one among all of his novels. The most strangest mixture of a drama, philosophy, very complicated detective and mystics. Yeah, at "the Brothers Karamazov" there's a Satan character and a very memorable interlude about the second coming of Jesus Christ and what happened. It's the last book of Dostoyevsky and he died simply next day after finishing writing it.

Thanks for the tip. On the "died on the next day" part though I find hard to believe since the book was published in 1880 and he died 1881.
