It's very short -- but it makes an impression. One of my favorite books by one of my very favorite authors (although he wasn't prolific.) It won the Pulitzer Prize in 1928 ... and is in several lists of "the greatest novels of all time."

"In 1998, the book was rated number 37 by the editorial board of the American Modern Library on the list of the 100 best 20th-century novels. Time magazine included the novel in its TIME 100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005."

I think you'll enjoy it. (If "enjoy" is the right word.)
