Have you ever wondered what your favorite authors read?
I have, so I spent the past few months reading some of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s favorite books. He loved reading, but since he moved a lot, and his stepson didn't keep his promise to keep his library intact, I had to work with what we have, mostly with Anna Grigorievna's list.
I finally fell in love with Balzac, and I finally one of the famous “positively beautiful figures”, Don Quixote.
