IMHO, Master and Margarita is the best book of the 20th Century. Thumbs up for The Road.

Master and Margarita is great and raw, but I think Mann's Doctor Faustus is more accomplished. Both great books, anyways. I don't know Russian, though.
I finished McCarthy's Suttree a month or so ago (took a couple of passes to get through the first 150 pages, and then it took off), and it's now one of my favorites of his novels. It's more laid back and more comic than any of his other books that I've read, even if Suttree still hits on the same basic theme McCarthy's been working since Blood Meridian.
