Hey guys. What are some books that you would consider them being a masterpiece, but they are short enough to be read twice in a single day? Pic unrelated.

Shakespeare's plays, Ibsen has some pretty sick stuff (Doll's house and Hedda Gabler, I don't know about others), Strindberg play's (There are a ton of them and they are all great, some overflow neuroticism that they get funny. "The Stronger" is really short, anon). I recommend Strindberg, he did some expermental stuff on France with those short pieces, there are lots of them and you can download them all on project Gutenberg. There is Chekhov too, anon. Most of his stories are great. The marriage of the cook is particularly thought provoking.

I'm not going to read everything, and I'm more into Strindberg. Ibsen is too fucking sober. I'm fucking crazy and I like madness.

Stronger is pure KEK, but I think it is not something you would read with ladies, anon. Specially if they are married. It is not indecent or anything, but he might be offensive.

Get Father, anon. That one is a neurotic overflow. You won't regret.

No still have to read those, read mainly his plays and some other stuff. I'm going to check Inferno next because I haven't seem his comic side. His "redemption" seems interesting too. I was reading Ibsen, because I got really curious about it and some other novels. Have you read any of those?

Some social media users said she was too skinny and 'looked unwell'
Others described Barker as 'naturally lean and small'

Bossuet's Méditation sur la brièveté de la vie is five (5) pages long, and is a masterpiece.
