Russians read the following classical works of the19th century at school (it's possible to call them the greatest ones):
"Yevgeny Onegin", "The Tales of the Late Ivan Petrovich Belkin", "Boris Godunov" by Alexander Pushkin;
"Crime and Punishment" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky;
"War and Peace", "Anna Karenina" by Leo Tolstoy;
"A Hero of Our Time" by Michael Lermontov;
"The Dead Souls", "The Inspector General" by Nikolai Gogol
My favorite book is "A Hero of Our Time".

If you want something recent, try the World of Watches series by Sergei Lukyanenko. It's not -lit- in the classic sense, but it's pretty good. Modern day fantasy. Contains random snippets of philosophy just like most Russian novel's I've read. I wonder why Russian authors love philosophy so much.

The only Russian literature I've read, part or in full, and it's long ago, were Dostoyevsky (sp?) and of course, Tolstoy — one should definitely read Tolstoy … definitely. Real nitty gritty of life .. I've heard there are some good Russian science fiction, but i don't know if it comes in English yet. ("I'm a dinosaur")

My favorite so far was Master and Margarita by Bulgakov. Very very funny and thought provoking.
Runner up was Anna Karenina.
Check out some poetry by Pushkin while you're at it, amazing stuff.
Happy reading!

– Mikhail Lermontov: The best-known of his long poems, Demon.
also wrote his novel Geroi nashego vremeni (1837-1840; A Hero of Our Time) consists of five interconnected stories.
– Nikolay Gogol was the most original master of Russian prose of the 19th century. Gogol’s early short stories, collected as Vechera na khutore bliz Dikanki (1831-1832; Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka), his second collection, Mirgorod (1835), “Nos” (1836; “The Nose”), “Shinel” (1842; “The Overcoat”).
