| Leo Tolstoy | War and Peace, Anna Karenina |
| Fyodor Dostoyevsky | Crime and Punishment, Brothers Karamazov |
| Vladimir Nabokov | Lolita |
| Anton Chekov | His collection of short stories |
| Ivan Turgenev | Fathers and Sons |
Maybe some articles in "The Hindu", a long time back, prodded me to cling on to, and remember some of these names and works, with an intent to read them somewhere, sometime. Slaved to random memories, with nuggets of information, useful or useless, lodged deep and they don't seem to fade away and peek out once in a while. This list is one.

With your command over tamil, you can also think about translating :)

I have heard about only Tolstoy - War and Peace - Mathathu ellam ennavo GREEK AND LATIN maathiri irukku :( . Inime unga post kku oru translation pottudunga.
Ha Ha, nice to see I have some company. I want to read War and Piece but the sheer size of the book gives me a fright.
Didn't know about Anton Chekov and Ivan Turgenev so far, will add them to my list.
Not sure whether you have heard about Mother by Maxim Gorky, it's also a nice book. That's the only Russian fiction I have read so far.
@chennaigirl-Idhellam padikkanumnu oru aasai appadinnu sonnaen, padippaennu sollalai. :-) edhukkunga translation.
@Sathish Mayil-The number of characters in War and Peace possibly outnumber the characters in Mahabharatha. :) Heavy duty books. Need to have tons of patience to pore over. I have heard of Mother by Gorky, haven't read it though.
