Looking for something in Spanish to read on my 20 minute train ride every day. Something short and not incredibly dense but also not mindless genre fiction either.
Pic related, tried reading ficciones and couldn't take it all in.

Read classic short story books like Cuentos de amor, de locura y de muerte, or Historias de cronopios y de famas.

Those are not easy for a non-native speaker.

This if you lie poetry, or just find random ones of his online, maybe some Neruda as well.

Asturias' Banana Trilogy is some of his lightest stuff.

Avoid his poetry though. I like it, but it's just wordplay and puns. Kinda like a spanish-speaking Jimmy Carr.

El llano en llamas by Juan Rulfo. Is a collection of 17 short stories about diverse themes setted on rural post-revolution México.

I was working my way through 2666. Got through about 500 pages but it was just too tough to read about murders in the desert every day on my commute.
