Hey everyone, Just trying to get into literary fiction. I wanted to know some works that are around 200 pages. by Marcel_7000 Related: suggest a book that will leave me a scared and a little unsettled 70s-80s gritty crime sci fi / cyberpunk Books where the protagonist developes a bond with something/one that isn’t human or animal What is the most jarring history, or history-adjacent, book that tells a true story that most of us don’t know, or haven’t learned in school? suggest me a book with a similar vibe to my favorite show, six feet under
