I think that would be a sensible move.
Also, my preference would be to have The Master and Margarita much earlier, bringing forward the Gogol if necessary. But that may well just be me...

Tom will read stuff in Russian. I'll read it in English.
I'm using the 1997 publication.
Author: Pasternak, Boris Leonidovich, 1890-1960.
Uniform Title: Doktor Zhivago. English
Title: Doctor Zhivago / Boris Pasternak ; [translation by Max Hayward and Manya Harrari. "The poems of Yurii Zhivago" by Bernard Guilbert Guerney ; introduction by John Bayley]

Are you guys going to recommend a particular translation of each book for us non-Russophones?
