Tolstoy is miles ahead of Dostoyevsky, only reason he isn't as popular is because Russians banned his books, while pushing Dostoyevsky's very mediocre literature.
The best way to spot a fool is to find out that he likes Dostoyevsky

Dostoyevsky is baby's first "intellectual" book. Just read Nabokov's critique of Dostoyevsky, funny how I thought exactly the same was as he did.

You know who's far more overrated than Dostoyevsky? Nabokov.

>Read the critique
>"Author has too many Freudian complexes 0/10"
Fuck you Nabokov
>It is questionable whether one can really discuss the aspects of ''realism'' or of ''human experience'' when considering an author whose gallery of characters consists almost exclusively of neurotics and lunatics.
Good point Nabokov. But y'see, they're kind of exxagerations to more clearly illustrate everyday human behaviour. The planning, the stress, the execution and the regret following in Crime and Punishment are exxagerations of the same behaviour a child goes through when stealing from a cookie jar.
