Hello,
I'm doing a book a day in June, so I'm looking for books that are 200 pages or less(Short story collections also welcome)

>> No.3807759

"The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho, "Summer" by Albert Camus, "The Doors of Perception" by Aldous Huxley, "Twenty Thousand Leagues under The Sea" by Jules Verne, 'I Dared To Call Him Father' by Bilquis Sheikh, 'The God Chasers' by Tommy Tenney, "The Gambler" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, "Touching from a Distance" by Deborah Curtis... Here's some inspiration to get you started... Enjoy June :)

What a lovely project.. I wish I had the time.. I think Junk by William Burroughs is within the limits

Just go to the lit wiki and to the novella page. It's not that hard.
