So I sat down the other day and spent ~2.5 hours and read the entirety of Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea. I really enjoyed that experience and loved the relative brevity of it. Really comfy experience. It was like watching a long-ish movie. What are some more books around a hundred or so pages long that can be read it one sitting?

Of Mice and Men
Almost all Shakespeare
You can probably finish The Catcher in the Rye in 2-3 sittings
>>8077041
Of Mice and Men has a sad ending tho. I'm especially looking for books that are "comfy." Shakespeare seems like a good idea, thanks anon.
>>8077020
Any novella, really
>>8077020
HP Lovecraft's stories might be something you'd want to look into.

Call me pleb, but I got nothing out of that book except a commentary on British Imperialism. Plus, it was dry as fuck.
