So tbf, I have only read War and Peace, so I can't speak for all of his work, but
>say history is not about great people and Napoleon did nothing, it was all the will of the people
>say Kutusow was a genius at guiding the will of the people and essentially won the war against France
Pick one, Tolstoy!

Bro this annoyed me so much. How didn't ge realise how much of a hypocrite he was being

Based and red pilled with regard to The Roasty Problem

I put off reading Anna Karenina for a long time because I was reluctant to read a book about a woman. I’m glad I finally read it though. The parts with Levin hunting with his dog or even just mowing grain on his farm were so damn comfy. Plus Vronsky was alpha as fuck, racing horses, plowing and impregnating married sloots and finally going off to Serbia to remove kebab or die trying.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Anna Karenina. I just skipped over the parts that were predominantly about the non male characters.
