Bartleby and Benito Cereno by Herman Melville
3.0

It seems like I read Bartleby in college, though, having read it now, I have no memory of having done so. It is a fascinating story, and I'll return to it again.

I picked up this copy, to read 'Benito Cereno,' after recently reading someone else talking about it. Perhaps my expectations got in the way, but I found it far too dry. As someone that thoroughly enjoyed 'Moby Dick', I was hoping that this might be equally engaging. It was not.
