Quick/Short Reads

[Miss.terri]

I am looking for some quick or short reads from the any of lists (2006, 2008, and 2010): books that have 250 to 300 pages or less. Thanks!

There are a lot of them: just about all Coetzee's books, Veronika decides to Die by Coelho, The Virgin Suicides, Lord of the Flies, The Quiet American, Sidhartha, Their Eyes Were Watching God are just a few that I've read and enjoyed.

Thanks!

Look at this topic, particularly post #38 for a useful link that sorts the list by page length.

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie is one that I would recommend as a quick and short read at under 200 pages.
Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto is under 150 pages (I think)
The Castle of Otranto under 200 pages
Junkie by William Burroughs under 150 pages
Thursbitch by Alan Garner

I flagged your pitiful sales pitch for removal, Kevin.

So Long a Letter is short but hard to find. I ordered mine off the internet after searching other places. It is an African classic.

But you quoted him...? So his spam will live on even if his original post is removed.
