Bartleby the scrivener is a great very short read

We were assigned to read that in high school and I was the only one to get through the story. It is a bit of a thick read even for short story and it doesn't have much of a plot other than "Here's this dude who doesn't want to do much. Here's more of the dude who doesn't want to do much. Here's more of the dude who doesn't want to do much. Here's more of the dude who doesn't want to do much. Oh, He died."

Makes me wonder what got under Melville's bonnet to make him write such a story.
