    Hi all! Would you please be so kind as to suggest me books with less than 100 pages, or close to it. I’ve got ADHD and find myself struggling with long books (but i really want to delve and develop my reading habit), or ditching it midway when i find the story dragging.

    I have no specific preference on the genre. I’d like to build a list of random and interesting books.

    I’ve recently finished:
    – A short stay in hell by Steven Peck
    – Foster by Claire Keegan

    Looking forward to your recommendations. Thank you in advance!

      The only one I can think of off the top of my head is The Eye by Vladimir Nabokov and it would depend on the edition (some are a couple pages over 100).

    2. Surprisingly I haven’t read many novellas with fewer than 100 pages, but here’s the closest I could get.

      * **The Scourge Between Stars** by Ness Brown (sci-fi horror, 130 pages)
      * **The Haunting of Tram Car 015** by P. Djèlí Clark (urban fantasy, 130 pages)
      * **The Ballad of Black Tom** by Victor LaValle (fantasy horror, 149 pages)

      You could also check out some short story collections, since that way you can read longer books but you only have to commit to a single story at a time, which might make it easier. I’m a big fan of Philip K. Dick’s short stories!
