A Five Year Sentence by Bernice Rubens
4.0
This novella is something like "Diary of a Nobody", but with decidedly anti-social twists.
It's completely hilarious through the first part, then perhaps less so as the conclusion is marched towards. The three main characters are somewhat pathetic, hopelessly lonely and stunted, and each has longed for the death of at least one other person. So we aren't cheering too hard for any of them.
This is a quick and enjoyable read -- and your own life will seem not so bad, in comparison. ;-)
