Need to get back into reading. Usually read horror literature and Russian works. But regardless, tell me your favorites !

Anna Karenina

Everyone needs to read it once in their lives. It's the best love story ever written IMHO

Barring that, people read any Russian classic. Their literature just hits different. Say what you want about the government, but the people are so beautiful in their complexity.
