Tolstoy's great-grandniece has a good post apocalyptic book called The Slynx.

Day of the Oprichnik and The Queue by Vladimir Sorokin are both good. The Queue is written in all dialogue though, which can be off-putting to some.

Omon Ra by Victor Pelevin is pretty damn funny.

We by Yevgeny Zamyatin is considered a precursor to 1984 and is worth a read.

Yuri Olesha's Envy is another funny one. Short, too.

Petersburg by Andrei Bely is generally considered the Russian Ulysses.

The Foundation Pit by Andrey Platonov is a biting look at Stalin's collectivization.

The Golovlyov Family by Shchedrin is about a family so awful they wouldn't be out of place in a Faulkner book.

Autobiography of a Corpse by Sigizmund Krzhizhanovsky is my favorite of his story collections. Pretty trippy stuff.

Hello. I am a student and books are expensive. I have lucky found some of the books I need on Amazon for not very much. I have a whole list of things I need here. I don't mind used books. In fact I prefer them. for these four books which I need the most it would be $22. : One, [two](http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0873527909/ref=wl_it_of_o_pC_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1O3E2ZVBKK8B3&coliid=I3CQZCCSUUXD8B&condition=all(), three, and four. Any/all of them would be much appreciated!
