I've already borrowed both Solaris and Boris Godunov from the library. I'm probably going to read Boris Godunov next weekend.

It's a much shorter work than the last one and while written in the nineteenth century, covers the late 16th/early 17th century rule of, you guessed it, Boris Godunov. There are copies available for free at Project Gutenberg and via Amazon for the Kindle(or Kindle for PC application).
And it's an awesome play covering a really interesting transitional period in Russian history. For those of you have read and enjoyed Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth , then this will be something else you will more likely than not enjoy. Ambition. Power. Death. Political Instability. Murder. All good things. And a good reflection on a period known as 'The Time of Troubles'. Plus who doesn't love a good story with a couple of wandering monks?
