Eye Candy (For The Ladies)

Ok, so I post quite a lot along the lines of Hot Rock Chicks and Olympic Babes, so how about some sizzling hot literary eye candy for the ladies.  May I present the red hot Russian dramatist and author Anton Chekov...


Anton says he creates a submerged life in the text, he's a friend of Leo Tolstoy and has his own dacha.
He's also unfortunately most definitely dead (1860-1904)
