I do really like Bulgakov, and consider The Master and Margarita to be one of my favorite reads, so I just know that I would enjoy this book as well. As it is, my reading of Russian literature has been slack lately, so I have been loving these posts and culling a sort of reading list out of them, and this book definitely makes the cut!
