    findagrave.com is one of my favorite websites, I love famous writers graves!


    oh and about the topic, Shakespeare always, as much as I admire Tolstoy I can't be without The Bard

    I voted for Tolstoy since a) I've had less exposure to Tolstoy, having read only one novel by him (W&P) compared to a few of Shakespeare's works and b) Tolstoy will take my mind off the heat of the desert to the chill of Russia.
