1 My favorite writer is Dostoevky. I like his works because of reality of situations which he describes in his books. The real people could have the same problems and troubles. He shows the dark side of poor people's life and how they handle with it.2 I recommend to read "The Idiot". One of the best books I've ever read. It's all about mistakes of person. He could live differently but chose the wrong way and at the end he suffered so much.
