75 Important Books Quick Enough to Read This Weekend

Sometimes when you're looking for a good book to read, it's all about a quick fix. Maybe you're in a book club and you need something that everyone will be able to finish by next meeting. Or maybe you're going away for the weekend and you want a novel you can have read by Monday. We're here to help! These classic, quality pieces of literature — with some fun books thrown in the mix — are quick enough to start and finish in two days, with most being around 300 pages or less. Plus, many of the classics you can actually check out on your Kindle for free! Either that or you can pick up a copy at your local library. Check out these book recommendations now to find your next weekend read.
** The list has 76 books, but The Stranger and The Outsider (Albert Camus)are listed separately even though they are the same book.
