Original Russian literature, especially classics, are really quite nice for L-R'ing Russian, in my opinion. Translations from English tend to be easier, though.
In general, good original literature plays with a language and is beautiful in a way that faithful translations are generally only a pale shadow of - but I'm sure you're aware of this.

I would not disagree with you, and once I have learned a bit more Russian I am looking forward to reading the classics, but since I am still strugling just to read the Russian letters, and have trouble putting together a single sentence in Russian, it is pretty tempting to chose something which I almost know by heart, and which I have three other translations of allready. Even attempting to read that is really just a folly at my stage. :-) |

You're not alone there Solfrid Cristin. I am definitely not a Twilight fan for reasons I won't go into here, but I have watched both films with French subtitles because the vocabulary is relatively simple so that makes it easier to follow the subtitles.

Audiobook found here :
(I google translated the site for you, that is why the URL is so long, just copy and paste the whole thing, twilight is at the bottom of the page)
I'm working on L-R in Russian as well, with Harry Potter. Could you post on how it works for you?

I am afraid I am still collecting resources, I am nowhere near being able to read it yet since I am still a beginner. How does it work for you?
