Which Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky books have you read?

Let's talk about some Russian Literature here.

War and Peace: 

This book by Leo Tolstoy changed me. I shall never forget it. Yeah, it's long and not an easy read, but it's worth it.

Anna Karenina:

    A tragic tale depicting the doomed love affair of the titular character, Anna Karenina. After War and Peace, I had to read the other major work by Leo Tolstoy. I like this one too.
    Crime and Punishment: Having explored the major works of one of the greatest Russian authors, of course, I wanted more. So, I turned to none other than Fyodor Dostoyevsky. From what I found, most people who have read Dostoyevsky like Crime and Punishment, and it's my favorite Dostoyevsky book too. It's fascinating how you find yourself empathizing with a cold-blooded murderer.
    The Brothers Karamazov: Another book by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, blending elements of crime, morality, and spirituality. Though it didn't have a similar impact as Crime and Punishment, I still enjoyed reading it.
    The Idiot: Another one by Fyodor Dostoyevsky revolves around the life of Prince Myshkin, an innocent and compassionate man, as he navigates the intricate social dynamics and moral dilemmas of 19th-century Russian society. Note to self: Don't be an idiot, else you'll end up in an asylum.


  1. More in the next one. Happy reading!

When Your Pet Dies

By on
August has not been very kind. Our Rex died. 23rd August 2025. A seven-year-old healthy Rottweiler. He was never once sick. How did this happen? I am having a hard time believing he's gone.  Every day, after I wake up, I let him out to do his nature business. Within our walls. As usual, he did and came back. Then later in the morning, I went to feed him. I saw that he had vomited everywhere. But he looked okay. He came out, did his business again, and came back. I took him up to the porch and sat him down on the sunny side. I thought he was cold and having indigestion. But he kept getting up. So I moved him to the shaded area. He drank some water and sat. I went into the room and read for some time. While reading, I could hear the sound of his chain jingling. That was normal. Maybe he was scratching himself, causing the sound. Nothing new to cause concern. I finished the book and went out to check. What I saw was horrible. He was seizing. I thought it was that. He was lying on his ...

Circe

By on
 "When we are young, we think ourselves the first to have each feeling in the world." Not me. When I was young, it never occurred to me to think that way, or I don't remember now. But I can imagine how it can be true for others. By the way, this is a line from Circe by Madeline Miller, not the opening line. I've been reading books that are just there, available to me. But amid that, I felt like reading Circe, remembering a friend's recommendation from some time ago or maybe because I saw it mentioned in some Reddit thread.  Now I'm not well-versed in Greek mythology. It seems Circe is a side character in The Odyssey, which I have not read. But I very much prefer this retelling of the life of goddess Circe as the heroine of her own epic. I could relate to a few things here, learned a few things, or got reminded of things I was forgetting. I just love this kind of book. And no, I'm not going to write a review. Just some lines and my thoughts. "...in a s...

September 2025 Reads—Toni Morrison, Madeline Miller, and More

By on
How I yearn for personal space and time alone! Long stretches of time alone to do nothing else but think, read, be creative and create. At the moment, that's not happening. But I have been reading as much as I can within the time I have. And I am grateful for what I have, and I know my time will come. I read some pretty good books in September. In order of my liking, starting with the one I like most, here they are: Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison (What a complete gem of a book!!🫶🏻) Circe by Madeline Miller The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison A Mercy by Toni Morrison Rosa Parks by Kristen Susieka The Cassandra Complex by Holly Smale Amazing Grace Adams by Fran Littlewood Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison:  That feeling when you finish a book, think you've just read one of the best books ever, and know this is not the only time you'll read that book. Yup! I got that with Song of Solomon. I guess I have a thing for magical realism. But it's not just that. This book surprise...
