Dubliners
Although I have about 4 books on the go right now, I took a pause from them all to re-read Dubliners by James Joyce because I was really feeling some short stories. Joyce is one of my (and many other peoples) all time favourite writers and I think this is my favourite book from him.

If you dig short stories, you should probably give this one a solid read. It isn’t that long, and the good thing about short stories is that you can put it down after finishing one, come back years later and pick it up. Also, if you have read or plan on reading Ulysses I definitely recommend this because a bunch of the characters in this reappear in minor roles in Ulysses.
In case you were wondering, the current books I have on the go are;
-
Nausea by Sartre (reading it again)
The Trial by Kafka (1/2 way through)
The Checklist Manifesto by Gawande
Fear and Loathing On The Campaign Trail by H. Thompson (3/4 done)
House Of Leaves by Danielewski (which freaks me the fuck out so I have to read it in small chunks)
and lastly, Storming Heaven by Stevens
