Yeah. It's a short easy and read and will prepare you for bigger and more complex book assuming you slowly ascend the steps of /lit/'s book selections to attaining the literary life.

it's definitely a difference from ASOIAF but its a neat short read that you probably won't regret spending the hour or two reading it

These are thrilling, accessible dramas, which are at the very foundation of the western literary canon.

If you don't feel ready to read anything beyond the last century, I recommend James Joyce's Dubliners.

It's a very light read. I may not have agreed with what the author was trying to say, but damn did he execute it beautifully. Probably should be read in a couple of days for the best effect.

Yes. Just be sure to remember as you go in that he rapes his sister, Phoebe. You'll know what this means when the time comes.
