What's your favorite book with less than 250 pages?

>>7442673
Almost all of my favorite books are less than 250 pages.

In Watermelon Sugar, maybe.

Caligula.

Variations in size and font and typesetting means 250 is pretty broad. If you want to ask what's your favorite short book just ask that or say like 100-150 pages...

I've tried reading the Seidinsticker translation but can't make any sense of it for some reason. I've tried twice and still don't know if it's him or me. I read Japanese literature constantly so I'm thinking it's on him

>>7442673

Faust

>>7445500
He has some very awkward phrasings, I think. His version just doesn't sound natural.

By Night in Chile
The Forest Path to the Spring
To The Lighthouse
The Nonexistent Knight
Invisible Cities
Phaedrus

Any of Nathanael West's novellas. I prefer The Day of the Locust but most people seem to like Miss Lonelyhearts.

Almost everything Woolf wrote is below 200 pages.

>>7444124
Not him but The Waves is a bit longer. I think To the Lighthouse is around 125-150 and The Waves I'd 250-300. It's been a while since I've read Woolf though so I may be a little off.

>>7442673
Dao De Jing

The Catcher In The Rye.

Is reading short books the way to do it /lit/? It seems like every book or collection I buy is a fucking thousand pages.

I never finish them.

Mao II

close enough

>>7447951
it doesn't matter how many pages.

>>7442673
In thinking about this, most of my favourite books are no more than 300 pages. So many books now just sprawl all over the place, but they don't have the content to sustain a lengthy book. In the past, novels of 200-300 pages seem to be the standard. Did publishers start dumping editors, or do they figure that people think it'll be value for money to buy some bloated doorstopper?
