Now, maybe you really don’t care about reading lists, spreadsheets or charts, but you still want a small book to tuck away in a pocket somewhere as you hide from being asked what on earth you’ve finally decided to do with your life. (I’m over 30. You can stop asking that now, Aunt Jan!) Earlier this year, I stashed a poetry collection in my bag and had annotated the entire thing by the time I was done waiting for my turn for the COVID vaccine — one can never be too prepared! For shorter books, I typically reach for poetry, but maybe you prefer essays or transcripts of commencement addresses. Whatever the case, here is a list of excellent short books just waiting to help you increase your reading number or avoid awkward family encounters this holiday season. Book lovers can find themselves in a wide range of situations where they don’t have as much time to read as they like. So whether you love poetry collections or micro-memoirs, there’s a short book out there just waiting for you to pick it up. These books may be slim, but they definitely aren’t short on great content. 112 Pages 64 Pages 80 Pages 128 Pages 72 Pages 94 Pages 30 Pages 80 Pages 96 Pages
