When did you finally grow out of the opinion Dostoevskij > Tolstoj?

I've yet to do so

What's the best way to say that Tolstoy was basically a Russian corncobber? Something about wheat?

Dosto is not actually good, Bloom and Nabokov rekt him tb.h.
just a pernicious journalist trying to convert you to orthodoxy

Dostoevsky 7/10
Jane Austen 8/10
Tolstoy 8.5/10
Balzac 9/10

Depends on the works of each you are in the mix.


TBK and Anna Karenina are master pieces, each in there own way.

never.
And it's worse when you're native russian and not some pleb-dolt mark-rube burger idolizing shitty russian authors.

When I discovered Chekhov and realized it didn't matter.

After my second depression, when I saw the light and realized this post-modern nihilist society doesn't mean I need to drown in cynicism, instead I chose the path of empathy for all humankind. Tolstoy does it better.
