How can you not like Tolsoty at hi best. War and Peace and Anna Karenin are like Life is writing itself. I'm not counting the philosphical drivel in the former which is easily skipped.
And the lame proto-Marxist essay at the end of War and Peace is also best left unread. But the novel itself is top-tier. How can anyone not be a fan of Pierre?
Easily....I find the Russian authors BOOOOOOOOOOOOORING and that includes Tolstoy!
