I am reading The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky (P&V translation). About 20% through. It’s starting to get interesting as the characters start to take shape. Till now I have read and enjoyed the P&V translations of both Crime and Punishment and Demons. This is a huge book and I am looking forward to enjoying this for a while! I am just excited and wanted to read other people’s thoughts.
Another good one is Fathers and Sons (or Fathers and Children, depending on translation) by Turgenev.
I haven’t read it before, but I’ve been interested. I think I’ll bump it up the queue. I’ve been interested because of this song that quotes from it:

The Slackers have a song, Peculiar, about the book, too! https://youtu.be/_DGjHDBtrjI?si=k7ORAkCKG5nfc3UX
