Yet my all time favorites are Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky and Melville

You're over-matured i must say :)) one time we should talk over Tolstoy's attempts to reform russian agricultural state through anna karenina.

I remember in one summer when I was teenager, I read war and peace three times. I know many young Russians hate it because they were forced to read it. But it is a book that every page indicates there is something cosmic and irreversible afoot.

sir, that's just immensely hyperbolical. i mean, it is a great book, every one agrees. but it's like how beethoven is great. you see? :) and Karenina is his best by any means.

Greatness is always hyperbolical to the eyes of puny writers like us. Well, I'm not going to argue re his best work. Also his writings on education, nothing beats them other Vygotsky's work.

as an all-around puny writer i must say that some greatnesses haven't seemed hyperbolical to me tho. they usually tend to be on the more "feminine" thread. i prefer the bed-ridden, self-indulged, swampy Proust, among the giants for example.

that just broke my heart. not cause you dis-ed Marcel, but because i see now that you are doomed. :)) i read him for the first time btw at probably the same age you'd read war and peace. maybe this is just teenage-wrestling.
