That's it. I have read every Tolstoy there is. The story about a counterfeit bill is one of his best.

Even though Dostoyevsky is known for being one of the greatest authors ever in literary history, in his own time he was mainly recognized as a journalist and a popular essayist. A Writer's Diary was his famous collection of essays on all kinds of topics of the day, such as alcoholism, war, religion, etc. Wonderfully written and relatively easy to digest.

A valuable insight into creative writing from a professional's perspective. This one's pretty repetitive, but it has some really good ideas.

A book full of essays on avant garde. I didn't get much out of it other than it has way too many things to say about Duchamp.

Pretty neat, more scientific take on criminology. For anyone familiar with this kind of stuff this won't be anything new.

I think Isaac Babel is way more interesting once you read his life story. He was imprisoned and executed during the Great Terror of Stalin.
