If on a Winter's Night a Traveler
by Italo Calvino
You've never read anything like this, nor will you again, even if you decide to reread Italo Calvino's If on a Winter's Night a Traveler. Prepare to be blue balled for an entire 260 pages, though. Each novel ends prematurely, but each is merely a step in a flight of stairs taking you to an unknown destination, the abrupt endings serving as momentum to push you through it all.
