I’m a doctor and I’m finding it increasingly difficult to find time to read. I love reading, and I used to make a point to try read the classics in between studying for exams. I just purchased Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov but its huge and I’m afraid I don’t have the bandwidth to read it at the moment. East of Eden is lengthy too, but is my favourite book.
Any suggestions, particularly short books with profound messages would be greatly appreciated!

I can’t recommend to you The Overstory by Richard Powers enough. It’s 502 pages, but that’s still 100 less than East of Eden (which happens to be one of my favorite books of all time). Worth every page.
