/lit/ - Literature

In this thread, you post your favourite book -- if you have one -- or one of the books you believe to be amongst your favourites; say a few words about the book: why you love it and why it could interest someone else.

In this thread, we are 100% positive and do not talk of other people's choices unless we second them.

In Our Time, by Ernest Hemingway, is his best book in my opinion and a true classic because it both established a new way and abolished it at the same time. The Iceberg Theory is best suited to short stories and that book is the best example of that. The important part is hidden, but you will guess if you can connect the dots and have any kind of emotional depth and intelligence to yourself. The vignettes are pungent as well. All around magnificent volume.

Your turn.
