What books around 200 pages would you highly recommend? Why?

I've always read fairly long books and only recently started to enjoy shorter books.

I want to buy the rest of Albert Camus's work, I've read the outsider and one about a pessimist who was in Amsterdam but I can't remember if it's called the Plague or the Fall?


Also I'd recommend: A hero of our time, the cossacks and A clock work orange
