Best short novel of all time?

[Sunhawk !!rEkSWzi2+mz No.4146856]

Let's say...less than 200 pages. I'd say Franny and Zooey. Salinger REALLY knew how to write.

what do ppl like about it. it's almost entirely dialogue. would've worked better as a script.

I can't speak for people in general, but for me...

>intelligent approach to writing
>great dialogue
>funny
>interesting flashbacks and asides
>good characters

Mostly the first point, I guess. Nice references, assumes the reader is fairly smart, etc. It's a great book. I've read it a total of nine times.

what does that have to do with OP's question, or anything at all? it's clearly not a script because much of it is not dialog.

i loved it. if you did not, that's fine.
...

candide, and Cat's Cradle are both probably over 200 pages, but both are fairly short works that i enjoyed very much.

Am I gay for thinking that's a pretty cool tattoo? Not that I would get one or anything.
