Preferred Reading Habits of Russian Celebrities: "Successful individuals indeed are those who immerse themselves in the written word"
Russian Celebrities Embrace the World of Literature
In the world of Russian entertainment, a love for books is not uncommon. Actress Yulia Peresild, known for her groundbreaking role as a cosmonaut, shares her affection for reading during the summer months. Ekaterina Andreyeva, a self-proclaimed bookworm, cherishes her extensive collection as if they were meetings with loved ones.
Peresild's book selection spans various genres, from Anton Chekhov's "The Cherry Orchard" to Tennessee Williams' "A Streetcar Named Desire." Her collection also includes Guzel Yakhina's "Children of Mine," Lyudmila Gurchenko's "Lyusya, Stop!," and Maria Parr's "Waffle Heart" (with children). Other notable additions include Erich Maria Remarque's "Arch of Triumph" and Bradshaw's "Return Home."
Andreyeva, on the other hand, finds joy in the tactile experience of books, appreciating the smell of new pages, the touch of old, worn-out editions, and the parchment-like thinness of ancient treatises. Her literary preferences lean towards esotericism and philosophy.
Meanwhile, Alexander Adabashyan and Oleg Menshikov share a fondness for classic Russian literature. Adabashyan considers Chekhov an exceptionally cruel writer and prefers rereading his works, along with those of Tolstoy and Natalia Téffi, rather than delving into new books. Adabashyan's favourite book is "William Shakespeare, or The Great Phoenix's Secret" by Ilya Gililov.
Menshikov, regretful of not having the opportunity to play Woland in Bulgakov's "The Master and Margarita," was deeply impressed by Fyodor Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment" as a child. He found Vladimir Nabokov's "Invitation to a Beheading" to have the highest quality humor.
Interestingly, Alexander Domogarov plans to reread Bulgakov's "Theatrical Novel" during his vacation. Spain, it seems, is the third most book-loving nation, with Russia currently holding the second spot, following China, in the global reading rankings. Reading classic literature, it appears, can enrich one's vocabulary and develop the imagination.
