What Ignited The Rocket That Sent You Up Into The Vast Regions Of Comedy, And Why?

I Started With [leo] Tolstoy And I Was Overwhelmed. Tolstoy Writes Like An Ocean, In Huge, Rolling Waves, And It Doesn't Look Like It Was Processed Through His Thinking. It Feels Very Natural. You Don't Question Whether Tolstoy's Right Or Wrong. His Philosophy Is Housed In Interrelating Characters, So It's Not Up For Grabs.

Tolstoy Was The Most Gifted Writer Who Ever Lived. It's Like He Stuck A Pen In His Heart And It Didn't Even Go Through His Mind On Its Way To The Page.
