Evelyn: Hi, could you recommend any Russian good book?
Lucy: hi! what Russian have you read so far?
Evelyn: hmm, honestly only "Crime and Punishment"
Lucy: and Tolstoy?
Evelyn: No, people always recommend Dostoyevsky.
Lucy: People are stupid and just repeat what they heard. Tolstoy is much better.
Evelyn: Why?
Lucy: I find him less moralistic and more pragmatic. He's also more affirmative toward life, more joyful.
Evelyn: hmm, so maybe I'll like him indeed. Especially that I find Dostoyevsky so heavy in his big questions about the good and the bad.
Lucy: Also quite naive I would shyly add.
Evelyn: So what should I start with?
Lucy: Maybe "Anna Karenina"?
Evelyn: The suicidal woman?
Lucy: Hahaha, it's more than this banal.
Evelyn: Ok, I'll give him and her a try;)
Lucy: let me know how it goes
Evelyn: I will
Lucy prefers Tolstoy's books rather than Dostoevsky's. Evelyn will probably read Anna Karenina first.
