I recently read Labyrinths (Borges) and Father Sergius (Tolstoy) and it was incredibly refreshing after clinging to novels for an extended period. There's something really satisfying about someone being able to tell a story that cleanly, to hold off the sprawl and lay it all out in just a few pages.
I've got a bunch of stuff tucked away in a list, but I'd be interested in hearing any favourites people might have.
