Arsène Lupin series has collections of short stories that are by my humble opinion the best the said series can give:
>Arsène Lupin, Gentleman Thief
>The Confessions of Arsène Lupin
>The Barnett and Co. Agency
There is also Arsène Lupin vs. Sherlock Holmes, but despite being split into short stories, it actually reads as one complete work, so it doesn't really fit the criteria.

The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea.

I've liked this collection quite much so far being halfway through. It's a strange mix of scifi, chinese culture, pseudointellectualism and actual feels.

>>16722200
I can unravel the very secrets of existence and reality of the universe in less than 2000 words, if I cared to

Here's why I know for sure /lit/ is full of pseuds, and why I'm leaving this fucking board.

Not one of you said The Dead.

Fucking pseuds all-a yous.

As soon as I saw your recommendation it intrigued me and I decided to read it in its entirety. I wouldn't describe it as such, but it is certainly something...
Very strong emotions.

Cabeza de Baca's Chronicles of the Narvaez Expedition is a brief account of the Indians a conquistador meets traveling the Southwest and it's dope as fuck

>>16723221
>The Bridge of San Luis Rey

Not a bad read, but ultimately rather contrived and pseudo-profound, imho. ymmv.

People here are insecure and want to feel smart / patrician, but a lot of them don't actually read very much because of shit attention spans, so they overcompensate for their own guilt and shame by putting others down for every little thing. There's a lot of bitterness and resentment on this board which is a shame because occasionally there are some great discussions.
