Alright kitty, where do I start with pic related?

You don't, Russians aren't worth reading.

Start with Dostoyevski and stop at Dostoyevski.

dont ever fucking call me a kitty every again

I'm not a pussy mate

You should start with the Greeks, OP.

>kitty

Ass and upwards

Fuck off, Dolly.

Not a single real answer in the thread

Why don't you give one then kitty
It's not so hard, just pee near Anna Karenina or push it off a table with your paw

Depends on why you're reading him. Are you interested in examining him as a thinker, and his works as a corpus in this regard (as many approach Dostoevsky, but Tolstoy isn't really that rewarding in this)? Or are just reading him because he's known as a good writer and you want to check out his work? If the latter is your motivation, then you should simply start with whichever work peaks your interest.

The Death of Ivan Ilyich

w...why do you call me kitty

because you use more kitty than lit

>peaks

Constantine isn't known for his intellectual prowess

I recommend you read any collection of his short stories, any volume containing the likes of Three Deaths, Ivan Ilyich, The Woodfelling.

And then I recommend trying one of his shorter novels before approaching W&P and Karenina. I really enjoyed The Cossacks.

I have no experience with his essays and moral writing. But as a fiction writer he is a brilliant observer of people, and a poetic writer of landscapes, whose prose is pleasingly fluent even in translation.

>he hasn't read Dead Souls
Thou art a faggot

...

Go directly for Anna Karenina. No need to read other things before that. Read his Letter to a Hindu after that.

Ignore the guy recommending Dostoyevski. Tolstoi is an ocean to D's lake.

Bcuz u r purr-fect ;3

>but Tolstoy isn't really that rewarding in this
You clearly haven't read any of his sociological and philosophical essays, otherwise you'd never have said that.

>Go directly for Anna Karenina. No need to read other things before that.
This. I'm seconding that.

>Thinks Mark Twain is better than Dostoevsky
>Thinks Ray Bradbury can compare to Bulgakov
>Thinks George Orwell compares to Turgenev

I'd point out that many still aren't in English but isn't that dude meant to be a Slav or something?

>a Slav
You mean politically? Dostoyevski was the panslavist nationalist, not Tolstoi; his work displays somewhat anarchistic tendencies if anything, if that was your question.

No, the tripfag.

Ah, my bad.

>Ignore the guy recommending Dostoyevski. Tolstoi is an ocean to D's lake.
t. pseud

It's my personal perception. D might dwell on psychological detail and is undoubtably very sharp and intelligent in his observations, but the world he observes is a shoebox compared to the literal realms T is opening up to. Sorry if that oppinion offends you.

nice rhetoric, jackass.

FUCK OFF. ITS DOSTOEVSKY. SKY.

No it's shit user.

Twain is actually better than Dostoevsky desu

I actually have, and that is why I say that.

>angry burgers telling us how we should spell the names of russian authors

forty keks

Lol

>Dostoye/v/sky

That's a strange way to spell Doestoevski

Death of Ivan Iliych.

Everything he wrote is worth reading.

That's a strange way to spell Dostoevskitty

It's Дocтoéвcкий.

This.

>Дocтoéвcкoт

I started with Anna Karenina, And I do not regret it at all...

>Alright kitty, where do I start with pic related?
>Alright kitty

Why is this so perfect? I can't stop laughing.
