Tolstoy vs. Dostoevsky

[Gustaf]

Only read Anna Karenina by Tolstoy, but though undoubtedly great, it did feel like a poor man's Dostoevsky.

[Gustaf]

Voted for Dostoevsky, but I've never read any Tolstoy.

Can anyone suggest to me where I should start? I'm looking for something that'll grab me thematically but leave me wanting more, in the way that Notes from Underground lead me to Crime and Punishment which then lead me to The Brothers Karamazov and onward. (I share Nathan's appreciation for The Idiot.)

The Death of Ivan Ilyich

Finished that about a week ago or so. Once thesis is done I'll have me a bit more Tolstoy. I also recently read a weird Dostoevsky one with a lesbian subplot of sorts. Wondering if it might have been a pirated copy.
