In fairness to 19th century Russian novelists, War and Peace, Anna Karenina and Crime and Punishment were enjoyable reads. The same cannot be said for the ramblings of the internet's angriest CPA. My unsolicited advice is put him on your ignore list.

I didn't enjoy them when I had to read them for school, but years later, on my own, I did. Especially Anna Karenina; I picked it up again a couple days after Russia invaded Ukraine.

That was my experience as well. I just couldn't get through them! Perhaps I'll give it another try at some point.

I own zero guns, unless you count the Daisy 880 air rifle I got for Christmas in 1989, which is still in my basement somewhere. I don't have BB's for it anymore.

As a parent, I have zero desire to have anything to do with guns right now - and wish more of the US felt the same way.

I’m a big fan of “War and Peace”, one of the odd things I collect is cards of Leo Tolstoy, including vintage Eastern European postcards of him. I enjoy Dostoevsky as well. Turgenev’s “Fathers and Sons” is a favorite, though I’m probably missing the full experience by not understanding Russian and doing them in translation.

Even this thread, improbably, gets a card.

Your Ogden's Tolstoy has a much sharper corners than mine does.

I don't have access to my box right now so this copy is not mine, but Tolstoy's T68 is my favorite American card of him:

He was a fine author I enjoy and I think a greatly interesting man and philosopher.
