Forever a Stranger and Other Stories by Hella S. Haasse

[Karen]

The Book of Laughter and Forgetting by Milan Kundera

[George P.]

Finished Tipping the Velvet by Sarah Waters a few days ago. A rollicking story in late 19th century England with some of the most frankly erotic scenes in any 1001 list book I've read. A different type of story than her Fingersmith but equally well-told.

The 13 Clocks by Thurber. You could read it in less than an hour. And maybe if you haven't read it, The Old Man and the Sea- 132 pgs. Woman at Point Zero is 112 pgs but probably not at your local library.

[Bryan--The Bee’s Knees]

The Kreutzer Sonata by Tolstoy is pretty short. I have a hardback collection of Tolstoy's stories and it's 70 pages long.

Here's a link to a (fre)e-book for kindle:
