Checkov for a coffee

A great storyteller My dream was to be considered the same as the Russian writer  Anton Checkov . Out of interest, I bought a book of his short stories , which changed my mind about him. I read half of the stories in the book, and out of a dozen, I enjoyed only three stories. In comparison, I have read several stories from the selections by Alexandr Solzynethsin  and enjoyed most of them. Also in my collection of books is a selection from another short story teller from Russia - Alexander Pushkin . As always, if I get to read my Pushkin book, I will view it impartially. I have had many complaints about the quality/ length of my books; my response is what do you expect for less than the price of half a cup of coffee - Pushkin?
