I read Whaleshit by Melville and people said his short stories were good, so I decided to read Bartleby, the Scrivener. Bartleby is a certified dramalad. Any time his boss asks him to do anything besides copying, he says "I would prefer not to." Then he stops working but won't leave the office. It's 1800s autism stewed to a perfection. Now I'm reading Into Thin Air about dumb mayos dying on Everest. It's such a big mountain y'all
Speaking of mayos getting butt fricked by nature, everyone should read this guy's account of having to parachute through a thunderstorm: https://docs.google.com/viewerng/viewer?url=http://www.loa.org/images/pdf/Rankin_Man_Thunder.pdf
It is FRICKING INSANE. It's 17 pages and you can read it in about 12 minutes. His descent would have taken 10 minutes in normal conditions but took over 40.

Short
stories are actually 
peak literature. Verbosity is a sin of the poorly educated.
