Hi, I'm currently at Lesson 57 in Princeton Russian (including all story segments up to that point), and I was wondering where I could find a good Russian graded reader. What I'm looking for is basically Lingua Latina or this Spanish reader. I checked Amazon.com and the only one I could find on there that had reviews was this 60 page one for $20, and it didn't even have all that good of reviews either. There was also this other one that had screwed up constructions on the first page (Я имею instead of у меня for I have.)
So, if anybody knows of anything, post it here.

The Easy Readers collection publishes graded readers in Russian and have 3 levels: A (vocab of 1000 words), B (vocab of 1800 words) and C (vocab of 2400 words). I had a look on Amazon and you can for sure find some level 1 and 3. Grant and Cutler also have a range of them in all levels and at decent prices.

Admittedly, even though those will probably be helpful in the future, they're not exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for the suggestions, though.
Basically, I'm looking for a book that introduces reading in a step by step fashion, starting out with simple sentences, much like the first parts of the books I mentioned up above. The Spanish example for instance starts out with "This is a chair. This is a man. The man is in the chair" and moves on to more complex constructions a little at a time. Admittedly, that would be a bit more complicated in Russian with the case system, but would be doable.

I can suggest Russian, by Ovsienko:

http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?paratrk=&isbn= 9788170070306<rec=t&bi=

It's a textbook, and begin with simple texts and sentences + grammar & vocabulary list, then progressively add new words and more advanced texts

If you've gotten that far with the Princeton program, why wouldn't you want something more
challenging/interesting?
