Favorite Writers
 

Tell me what you read, and I'll tell you who you are. A little paraphrased, but the audience, I hope, not mad, most importantly, that the sense of true:)
Who will read?
Then people read, not one hundred volumes shoveled, therefore propose to write only favorite, most-most - those who can open from any place, any state of the soul - and, for the hundredth time reading, discover something new, enjoy, and find support in any situation, to understand. In short, those whose books we can not be worn before, and the more they are valuable. Here are just like that.

My version: Pushkin, Kopecky, Herriot

Allena,
Few on the same topic:

Allena, without hesitation: Dovlatov, Chekhov, T. Thick.

In childhood and adolescence read a lot and everything, enjoyed everything, because I loved the process ... The last 10-15 years, I read less, favorite, too less ...
      From the Russian, who re-read: genius Saltykov-Shchedrin, Tatyana Tolstaya, scandalous stories, Eduard Limonov (!).
      Of the other: Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Meir Shalev, Nabokov.

Jasmin, who is it? please tell me.

Sergey, really, did not see: shy:

Meir Shalev, a modern Israeli writer ... I read the stories and the novel "The pigeon and the baby" (literal translation). There really is interspersed with fantasy ... The love story of very young boys, named Baby, and the girls, on behalf of their son ... There is everything: the country's history, and love ... During the Yom Kippur War, corresponded via carrier pigeon, which was diluted and used in the Israeli army as "orderlies" to transfer data. In general, when the child mortally wounded, he was a dove in a small jar gave his sperm lover, and she became pregnant and bore a son. This son grew up and tells the story of his family, and anyone who sees it one way or another been connected ... This brief story, all the beauty I can not tell, but a novel unusually beautiful

Well, just surreal! Strong on fiction children of Israel! Can be seen not in the hands of a guy was injured. And if the jar to the enemies hit?

always been inspired by Franz Kafka ...
today read a lot, but such a bright, hard to remember to allocate ... although recently, like John Toole "Collusion Dunces"

Then it would be quite another story!

"Tolstoy - unbeaten Russian writer. Leaving aside his precursors Pushkin and Lermontov, all the great Russian writers can build up in the following sequence: first - Tolstoy, the second
- Gogol, the third - Chekhov, fourth - Turgenev. It seems to exhaust the list, and of course, Dostoevsky and Saltykov-Shchedrin, with their low grades would not receive my certificate of merit »B. Nabokov, Lectures on Russian Literature "

Indeed, Yaya, Nabokov, Tolstoy placed above all the Russian writers. But interest is the theme and the approach to it, which he chose for these lectures! I never have and never thought to read "Anna Karenina" with a clock and calendar in hand!

And your - for the soul - who is this?

Allena,
1-place - Tolstoy
2-place - Tolstoy
3-place - Tolstoy

Allena, and, of course, Pushkin. always, when I read "but happiness was so possible, begin to sniff hard:)
then Gogol
and yet I do not share the dislike VN by Fyodor:)

Wow! Say no more ...: shy:

not share ...

but there is still a conditional separation of people by type (as a pessimist - an optimist, an owl - a lark, and so on.): "Tolstoy" - Chekhov "(the exact characteristics of the types I do not remember), so I - to Chekhov unambiguously.

Bulgakov.
And once again, Bulgakov:)
