<strike>Many users intellectuals '''hipsters''' of /lit/ will tell you that</strike> Russian literature is<strike> best</strike> literature. <strike>This is not the case at all. In fact, Russian literature is among the worst there is to offer in the world of literature, only beating out '''African and Asian literature''', which are '''both boring shitfests themselves''' so that's not really saying anything.
</strike>
<strike>One of the big names of Russian literature is Fyodor Dostoevsky. Mentioning his name in any /lit/ thread = guaranteed_replies.jpg. This is due to the fact that /lit/ users can't think for themselves and would praise Dostoevsky's warm shit if he smeared it onto pieces of paper and called it a story. In reality, however, Dostoevsky is wordy and his novels contain overly boring subplots which have nothing to do with the central plot of the story whatsoever. Imagine Dumas but '''boring and with overly sentimental characters''', who "pale" or "redden" every goddamn time they say or hear or do something. For example, Dostoevsy's ''The Brothers Karamazov'' contains '''two long chapters dedicated to the life of a dying priest''' or elder or some stupid shit '''who is much more inferior than any minor characters''' in the novel. None of this has any relavancy to the original plot, which is a trio of kids who want to kill their father, which is actually interesting. But the words and the way the story is told only have to do about 10% with the main plot.</strike>
<strike>All in all, don't read Russian literature. If you want to read some good books about depressed people go read some of the Lost Generation authors.</strike>
