Reading Tolstoy

I am reading the last two Tolstoy stories on the list, which are contained in the volume The Death of Ivan Ilych and Other Stories. I love Tolstoy and I can't see why only four of his books made it on to the list when other (less deserving in my opinion) artists have more. Tolstoy's book are usually sad, sometimes even downright depressing, but beautiful in their melancholia. If you haven't read anything by this author yet, I highly recommend trying. War and Peace can be daunting (though wonderful), but his short stories are just as good, as is Anna Karenina.
