I have 5h to kill at work. What short story should I read?

Encyclopedia

>5 hours
>short story

How slow do you read?

Also, Robert Sheckley or Harlon Ellison if you like sci-fi or fantasy without the faggotry and 200 pages of tediously detailed alternate worlds.

>>7835330
Some Borges, maybe some Chekhov. In 5 hours you can also manage a Gogol or a Turgenev novella.

Damn…

That isn't good, anon. Please fix this as soon as possible.

But for genuine suggestions for short reads, you could probably read a play pretty quickly (The Crucible or Death of a Salesman are essential so maybe try those out). If you're not keen on those, then I guess graphic novels might work: they might look long but you can finish most of them in a day (Persepolis, Maus, Uzumaki, the list goes on…)

Anyone else get really tired / sleepy while reading? I wish I could read longer but after like 40 minutes I lose focus.
>>
>>7837123
best thing to do is go on 4chan when u start to nod off then come back to reading in a few minutes. or read at a cafe or read standing up or in a chair that's really uncomfortable

I have to read Beckett's Endgame and Grimwood's Replay. Are they worth the effort?
>>
Read Lovecraft's "At the Mountains of Madness" if you can get pass the obtuse grammar
>>
>>7837183
I have only read Beckett and I totally recommend it, specially Endgame. I also suggest watching it.

My question:

What's the best Stirner translation?
>>
>>7837123
40 minutes? Took me like 10 days to read the happiest refugee cause I just could not stay awake for longer then 10 minutes. Couldn't even think straight for that 10 minutes while I was reading.

I havnt read at night since that and I don't plan to.
It rely pisses me off cause thats the only time I have time to read
