Plato's Dialogues.

Short and sweet. Rather interesting actually, but could be considered pretentious.

Along that vein, you could also include The Histories by Herodotus. Actually, I like this book and it may be a little too long, but it's a great read.

What about Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt. I have to admit I've never read this as, rather appropriately, I've always heard it was rather pretentious!
