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

    I’m not an avid reader (anymore) and can’t even tell you any favorites. But since you’ve mentioned liking horror and Russian authors: are you aware of Sergei Lukyanenko’s Night Watch series?

    I guess it’s more fantasy than horror, and probably not like any of the Russian literature classics, but I just figured you might enjoy it.
