I'm currently reading The Idiot by Dostoevsky. It's a lot more readable than I was expecting, though keeping track of all the character's names is tricky at times (especially when they have multiple nicknames and alternate between referring to their first and middle names, and surname). I'm about a third of the way through; it feels like I'm yet to get to the 'meat' of the story. So far it has involved a naïve Prince getting to know various people in Russia, and invariably getting muddled up in their affairs. I'm fascinated to see where things go though!
