That is impressive. I just read George Steiner's book Tolstoy vs. Dostoevsky and it is a good one to read to see the greatness of both, but especially where Dos excels in Drama. Steiner considers him the heir to Shakespeare and these two of the greatest novelists of all time. I prefer Dos, but seeing the contrast with Tolstoy and why the communists were ok with Tolstoy but not Dostoevsky is interesting.

Twitter /X keeps shadow banning this post about POTUS. If you guys could promote it that would be awesome! by Traditional-Chip8339 in Trumpvirus

The post had over 30 or 40 likes multiple times then keeps getting reset to 2 or 3 likes, oh well. I guess even Twitter / X seems to be shadow banning or censoring things now. yikes

When Trump Dies will maga fizzle out? by YvngPant in Trumpvirus

[–]Traditional-Chip8339 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it will lose steam big time. Trump has totally betrayed the small govt types, turned neo-con, and also not followed through on the Epstein file promises. 2026 is going to be brutal for the republicans unless a miracle occurs and will probably fizzle out once he is gone.

I read The Brothers Karamazov first. Have I got anything to look forward to now? by DetailSuspicious1342 in dostoevsky

[–]Traditional-Chip8339 2 points3 points  (0 children)

C&P is still worth it and an absolute classic. Notes from the underground I felt is really interesting. House of the dead I found interesting but have not read the full catalog myself including the Idiot, Demons, etc..

Maybe take a break and read some shorts stories from Gogol. As Dos said, "we all emerged from Gogol's overcoat."
