Girls if you have time what you prefer to read? As for me I like reading stories By Anna Gavalda, Vishnevskii The last writer I have read was Kalagridis "Невеста Борджа" "Я Мона Лиза"

Now I only have time to read when I travel by train (which only happens about once every two weeks) and I just pick up whatever novel is in our exchange library (basically everyone at work brings any books and leaves them on a shelf for everyone else to read).

For those who are comfortable reading in English, I would recommend God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy - this is a book for those whose English is very strong, though, since there is a lot of jumping around between scenes/times/years, and it can get a bit confusing - but very much worth it. A sensational book.

For those a little weaker in English, I would recommend this: http://www.amazon.com/Stories-Alexander-Aleksandr-Saltykov-Shchedrin-Potapenko/dp/B001GO052W/ref=pd_bbs_sr_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1229628173&sr=8-4
These are the classic russian stories that have been translated into English, and they are the best since you already know what it should say, and are free to learn the English aspect of it, instead of being bound by not understanding the exact phrase/word/sentence. My husband was able to improve his English a great deal by doing this.
