Very Short Books to Finish Your Goodreads Reading Challenge Strong

"We've assembled here several dozen Very Short Books for your perusal, the reading of which can do wonders for your overall progress. All the selections here clock in at fewer than 200 pages, and we've made sure to include options from every genre.

To switch things up a bit this year, we've dug deep into the archives and selected some famous and popular backlist titles. Now's your chance to consume that nutritional literature you've been meaning to get to since high school—like Hemingway, Steinbeck, and Morrison."
