Let's start :)
I think we need categorize books by genre. First of all it will be Russian classic! I guess it's the best theme for first time, cuz I know about it more :)
When I was a little girl I LOVED READING! I always made all tasks about it, read "summer literature", write loooong essays every time and memorized verses. Btw, I hate verses and if you want to devote a verse to me, please don't :)
What about Russian culture? If you love classic, I can recommend to you some authors. Or not? What do you love? It's difficult, haha :)
Anyway! My lovely Russians authors:
- Lev Tolstoy
- Fyodor Dostoevsky
- Mikhail Bulgakov
- Vladimir Nabokov
Did you ever hear about them?
