From Goodreads

Major Barbara
George Bernard Shaw

I'm still not a huge fan of reading plays, but Shaw made it interesting to me enough to warrant four stars. I love satire and this has it in spades. Shaw has a great ability to skewer and skew everything as equally absurd. There's a bit too much cynicism in his message for me to hop aboard his rationale, but it's well defended and wonderfully written. It was a good, short read and I think I would like to see the play at some point in my life.
