Bartleby the Scrivener is by Herman Melville. Widely regarded as the beginning of modernism, this novella is the tale of a strange clerk. Bartleby copies legal documents, but refuses to complete tasks he "prefers" not to complete. It is a strange, yet compelling, tale and well worth the short amount of time needed to read it, which is much shorter than the time you will be thinking about it after reading it.
Ratings: 11th grade - 9 out of 10.
