How to Be Well-Read in No Time: 100 Short Novels - Page 2

From List Muse: "How to be well-read in no time: 100 short novels is a list of books that provides a varied glimpse of the written style of many of the great authors. A concise selection, the titles can be worked through over a very short period, or, alternatively, they can be sandwiched between larger classics in an even more ambitious reading program. For further reading suggestions see our Top 100 Novels of All Time."
