Can people recommend me a classic work of literature, less than 300 pages, that I can read before school gets in?

I'm up for any genre or format.

I'm reading On the Road, at the moment.

I don't really like it as much as I thought I would, if I'm being honest. The prose is interesting, but the content of the book is boring, and the themes are heavy handed and simple.

I'm done with Beat books for a while. I'll probably read some non fiction, or Crime and Punishment next.
