I'm looking for a book to read easily in a week so I want something small. My current book is 900 pages anyway.

"History" is pretty vague. Any particular period?

Good one.

Any period because 350 pages is specific enough.

Discipline and Punish
It's about 300 pages long. I have a copy translated by Alan Sheridan. It's fairly interesting.

>> No.3225546

not sure on the page count for these but i've really liked them:

richard white - the middle ground
ned blackhawk - violence across the land
danielle mcguire - at the dark of the street

basically if you find books that have won the bancroft, the pulitzer, or an author who has won both, you are in for a good read
