Hi /lit/, I only have one question for you.
If you could recommend one and one only book what would it be ?
I'm asking because I'm not as much as I'd like into literature, so I'm wondering what's the most important book for any of you.
(It can be absolutely anything, short stories or comics or whatever.)

Complete Stories of Hemingway.
Why?
>language is easy, and the stories are normally fairly easy reads
>though not demanding in the terms of prose, they aren't artless pop-lit
>can be appreciated without prior knowledge of lit
>popular enough that if you want to talk about it with people outside of a mongolian throat singing board, you probably can
>if you like it, he has a large body of work to continue with
>written recently enough that you don't need a great deal of historical context that you wouldn't already have

Nation by Terry Pratchett.
Can't stop myself reason it every few months
