>Current
My Education By William S. Burroughs
>8/10 so far because of his prose, it's like a less graphic Naked Lunch.

Girl, Interrupted
>why not?

ITT: We recommend short classic literature worth checking out

I'll start
The Art of War - Tzu
The Prince - Machiavelli

Picture not related since Moby-dick isn't exactly 'short' in length. Heh...

If you like this jpeg read it, it pretty much sums up Captain Ahab and how much of a crazy badass he is.

I started with the first like. . . 10 years ago. My highest point of interest was the 4th and 5th, although the 3rd one really captured my attention by dealing with serious matters like torture and wrongful imprisonment.

5 felt kinda wrong to me somehow. Yet right at the same time. 6 was just. . . what the fuck. But it had some very clever bits.

7 was a lot of fanwankery and a rather random book-consuming quest plot. Didn't like the big fight at the end. Epilogue was "meh."

I have a friend who HATES the series. Passionately hates it. She claims the author has no talent, rips off fantasy creatures instead of making her own, and gave in to the fans on the 7th. I tentatively agree with her on that last bit. The heck was Rowling doing exactly?

Pic related. My friend reacts much this way when the books are mentioned.

>Surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet

Split your lungs with blood and thunder
When you see the white whale
Break your backs and crack your oars men
If you wish to prevail

This ivory leg is what propels me
Harpoons thrust in the sky
Aim directly for his crooked brow
And look him straight in the eye

White whale - holy grail
