Repost from r/books that got taken down before I discovered this sub.
I am looking for some recommendation for shorter books that are quick and fun reads. I set a goal for myself to read 52 books this year, and I have 13 books left to reach this goal. I decided to read a lot of larger books earlier on, 500-1000+ pages, but nearing the end I don’t think I’ll have the time to read bigger books knowing what my schedule is like for the remainder of the year.
I’m pretty open to suggestions, Sci-Fi and Fantasy being my main choices, but I am also down to read General-Fiction.
Thanks!

{{The Time Machine by H. G. Wells}} is a short classic sci-fi. Another short read that I read was {{The Heart of a Dog by Mikhail Bulgakov}} which is a short Russian story.
The foundation series books are pretty short and are a great read!
For a fun sci-fi read, I personally enjoyed [‘Several People Are Typing’](https://www.waterstones.com/book/several-people-are-typing/calvin-kasulke/9781529358384) by Calvin Kasulke. I’m a slow reader but got through this one in a weekend 🙂
All You Need is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka. Military SF meets Groundhog Day.
