I love this pocket-size book. It can be read in one sitting, bye bye doom scrolling

Bought 10+ of the penguin little black classics and I loved them all. The perfect summaries for absolute classics. Enjoyable and easy to absorb. Will be posting this review on the other books I bought as well, for the price of 1 JD, it’s definitely a steal.
