Great Short Works of Herman Melville by Herman Melville, Warner Berthoff

Only a few of these stories were exceptionally good and they're all the famous ones: Bartleby, Benito Cereno, and Billy Budd. Bartleby might be one of my top fav short stories ever actually. I also liked "I and My Chimney" and "The Town-Ho's Story." But the rest I found a bit forgettable.

I like Bartleby the Scrivener, but that's about it. The rest was somewhat underwhelming.
