Thanks, Rosemarie :)

I found The Three Musketeers and Doctor Zhivago to be excellent. The Awakening and The Island of Dr. Moreau were also notable. Enjoy your challenge.

[Marina]

Thanks, Bob. I'm glad you liked those books, I have high expectations as regards them :)

I read Dr Zhivago this year. It was a surprise hit.

Good to know!

The Three Musketeers was a blast! And Doctor Zhivago was a group read for us in January, otherwise I probably wouldn't have read it. And I'm so glad I did! Enjoy!

Great book choices! I loved The Awakening. I've never heard of the Dostoevsky book you have listed. I'll have to check it out.

[Marina]

Thanks, Terris! Good to know you loved those two books.

Angie, that book has been sitting on my shelves for ages, I think it's a lesser known novel by Dostoyevsky, but since I loved all of his books, I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy this one, too :)
