I don't really intend to read all that many books (I think I read like fifteen or twenty books a year on average these days, and I don't think all of those are going to be big classics ), but I intend to finish Anna Karenina, possibly reread War and Peace, then at least one Dostoyevsky, probably Crime and Punishment. And The Master and Margarita, odds are that one'll be Book Club at some point... Other than that, feel free to give me suggestions, and hopefully I'll get around to reading a few of them. A history book or two is welcome, as well, particularly if you know of any that go into some detail about the Russian conquest of the Muslim states of Central Asia. I know far too little about that.
