I'm almost done with Zorba the Greek, and it's really boosted my interest in Eastern European literature. If anyone's got recommendations for other novels from the region feel free to share. My next book is going to be Lolita but after that I want to get into Eastern European fiction. Currently on my prospective-reads list I've got The Red Cavalry by Isaac Babel; Poor Folk or Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky; Freedom or Death by Nikos Kazantzakis; and The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera.
