Still one of the best things I've read about the absurdity and alienating drudgery of wage labour. Alas, will have to #work for books, like this cool Melville House edition... #AugustGrrrl @Cinfhen

Sace Recently checked this out from the library. It was an edition that included Billy Budd as well. I might start on one of those this weekend. 7y
Lacythebookworm Love Bartleby! 🙌😍 7y
batsy @RestlessFickleBookSlut I haven't read Billy Budd! Maybe I'll read that before I attempt Moby Dick... someday 😆 7y
batsy @Lacythebookworm Yeah! 💚 7y
Billypar I wish Melville knew that in 2017 book nerds would wear t-shirts with 'I prefer not to' printed on them. 7y
batsy @Billypar :) I need one of those t-shirts! And a mug too, if they make em 7y
Sace @batsy I read it in high school and remembered it as long and boring. When I checked out the book last week I was shocked to discover it was only 81 pages! 7y
