Lubbock in the early 80s was a great place to be a little kid. Heh.
I started the other way around, wtih Dostoevsky. I read Crime & Punishment in a frenzied two days and it changed everything for me. After working through every 'classic' Russian author I could get my hands on, I started reading those delightfully insane 20th century writers. (With a sideways trip via Nabokov)
Have you read St Petersburg, by Andrei Biely? It's so so so good.
