Russian Lit Challenge Check-In

O wants to know how we're all doing with the Russian literature.  I've been reading a lot of Russian this year, though I needed a break after August 1914.  So far I have read 8 titles.  I signed up for 4-6, but I'd quite like to get to ten.


So far I've read:
  1.  We, by Yevgeny Zamyatin
  2.  Dead Souls, by Nikolai Gogol
  3. Eugene Onegin (final installment), by Pushkin
  4. Fathers and Sons, by Turgenev (mini-review!)
  5. What is to be Done? by Nikolai Chernyshevsky
  6. Maidenhair, by Mikhail Shishkin
  7. Notes from the Underground, by Dostoevsky
  8. August 1914, by Solzhenitsyn
Last night I got back on the Russian horse and started reading Chekhov's play Uncle Vanya.  I figure I'll read at least one play, maybe all of the three I have planned (but that might be too many plays at once), and then tackle the big one: War and Peace.
