She’s so plain but it makes her hot. And to answer your question, no, in fact the damage was so intense it killed him 250 years earlier

Yes I think the most successful western writer in history recovered from a barely-acknowledged essay by a cranky mongoloid who was assmad about getting effortlessly mogged.

02/02/26(Mon)21:47:50 No.25063321 I don't think Tolstoy getting angry at Shakespeare actually ever negatively impacted Shakespeare's standing, especially since Tolstoy's demand was eventually that art never be beautiful but didactic and moral and helpful to those who are uneducated and don't read much. This demand for books never resonated with readers of Shakespeare

I hate nail polish so much. So disgusting it'd turn me gay if they didn't all start wearing it too.

I think it depends on the woman. A homely, cute type with stubbier fingers looks off with nail polish, but say, a prime Sofia Vergara with crimson red nails on a hand wrapped around my cock... I would explode like you couldn't imagine.

So how exactly is he so praised by Nabokov? Is the latter just constantly full of aristocratic shit? It surely seems so.

Nabokov likes some works by Tolstoy, others he doesn't, and some in between. He loves Anna Karenina and in fact affectionately parodied it with Lolita, replacing the forbidden love of adultery with pedophilia. He considers War and Peace outstanding YA but too long. Nabokov is a lot more consistent on his praise for Shakespeare than he is with Tolstoy.
Nabokov's favorite Russian writer was Pushkin, I think.
