ITT We discuss why Russian authors are superior.Pic so related it is incest.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jun 16 20:20:49 2010 No.795868 Going through Crime & Punishment at the moment. I like it :3

>>	Anonymous Wed Jun 16 20:22:49 2010 No.795879 Because reading about 19th century Russia is nice for young Westerners like us.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jun 16 20:22:49 2010 No.795881 19th Century lit Russia > France > All

>>	Anonymous Wed Jun 16 20:25:49 2010 No.795898 What is the difference between a Russian comedy and a Russian tragedy?

>>	Anonymous Wed Jun 16 20:25:49 2010 No.795899 Russian authors are dry and longwinded. Rand, Tolstoy, etc.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jun 16 20:27:49 2010 No.795906 Op here. Tolstoy and Gogol are gods. My former non reading friend is devouring his short stories. Russia produced an amazing level of genius.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jun 16 20:28:49 2010 No.795909 >>795899 Don't try to pin Rand on Russia,America owns her hook line and sinker. Hemingway balances it out.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jun 16 20:28:49 2010 No.795912 >>795899 >Rand >Dry Kant is dry. Nietzsche is (somewhat) dry. Rand is character driven fiction. Inb4 people accuse me of saying that Rand is good when I have NOT SAID THAT RAND IS GOOD.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jun 16 20:31:49 2010 No.795925 >>795899 Long-winded perhaps but it's about as dry as a 15 year old girl's vag while watching twilight.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jun 16 21:02:49 2010 No.796040 But they all wrote on different subjects on life, comparing Hemingway with Fyodor is like trying to shove my penis in your mouth.
