Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
Plato, "Trial and Death of Socrates" (any text containing the Euthyphro/Apology/Crito/Phaedo quartet)
Machiavelli, The Prince
Descartes, Discourse on Method
Descartes, Meditations
Spinoza, Ethics (the text itself really isn't that long)

...
Lots of short texts by early modern (post-Descartes) philosophers, frankly. Look them up.
...

Any pocket book of the U.S. Declaration and Constitution (the complete Federalist does not count as a short book)
Mao, Little Red Book (a serious, cogent work, unlike the following)
Gaddafi, Green Book (actually a very silly work and not a serious work of philosophy, but it's historically notable and can provide fodder for the reader to critique/reject)
Wittgenstein, Tractatus
Wittgenstein, Philosophical Investigations
Debord, Society of the Spectacle
Kaczynski, Industrial Society and its Future ("The Unabomber Manifesto")
The Invisible Committee, The Coming Insurrection
