What are some pocket sized books that are really easy to read when you have 5 mins to spare and are essential. Something by the greeks or philosophical essays.

As suggested above, read on your phone.

>5 mins to spare and are essential
- French moralists (La Rochefoucauld, Vauvenargues, La Bruyère, Chamfort, Pascal...)
- German philosophers that can be read in any order (Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Lichtenberg...)
- Quality short poems or short stories (Poe, Borges...)
