 The quality of Russian novels is inversely proportional to their weight; Dostoevsky > Tolstoy [UM >>> War and Peace] [/  ] | ||

This isn't going to prevent me from trying them though, as soon as I get some of the more pertinent and urgent readings out of the way .Why do they say that? (What do they do?) | ||

These aren't my words. Neither Tolstoy nor Dostoevsky have any inkling of a sense of humor; both lived lifestyles contradictory to what they preach in their literature. Dostoevsky is a notorious misanthrope and his works are not particularly enjoyable to read. | ||

Good book, Tolstoy > Dostoyevsky. I dont really know how you can say they are overrated as authors, as both have a pretty good library of books but both are only known for one. Perhaps those two books are overrated, as they are probably 2 of the most recognizable names in classic literature, but definitely as authors they are underrated. Just finished reading The Idiot a couple months ago, definitely pick it up if you enjoy C&P. | ||

Surprising Tolstoy has a library after seeing the length of Anna Karenina and War and Peace, how many did he write? | ||
